I see we're working with an AMD processor, and a Socket 462 (Socket A), motherboard.
Let's look at some basic installation problems for that motherboard, and see if any fit;
1) Since it is an AMD processor motherboard, you have to be SURE that Thermal Paste has been applied PROPERLY, and applied.

An AMD processor runs hot, for the models that fit that motherboard. If no Thermal Paste has been applied, the AMD processor could have burned up.
2) Anti-Static Precautions: I know, I know. But you would be surprised with those of us, who do not know what Anti-Static Precautions are; and work on computers. (Hmmm, wonder why it doesn't work? Must be a bad motherboard)
3) Mounting to the Support Plate.
The Support Plate can be a separate metal plate; or is part of the computer case. Mounting of the motherboard to Support Plate can be done with plastic Spacers; or metal Standoff's.
(Standoff. Shapes vary a little, but basically; 3/8ths to 1/2 inch long, hex shaped, threaded shaft on one end; and a threaded hole on the other end)
If a Standoff is NOT mounted to a motherboard mounting hole; and is just sitting out there on the Support Plate; it can touch exposed solder joints on the bottom of the motherboard, and cause a Short Circuit.
MOST of the time if the 'offending' Standoff is removed; or placed where it should be, (Motherboard mounting hole), then the motherboard, etc may be OK.
4) Power Supply:
If the Power Supply was on it's last leg, this may be the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. Power Supply went to the Power Supply graveyard in the sky.
If the Power Supply does not have enough power (Wattage, and Amp's), then you would also see the problem you stated.
New Power Supply, or old? What is the manufacturer, and model number? Post back in a Comment.
What AMD Socket 462 (Socket A) processor did you install? What Ram Memory? How many optical drives? (CD/DVD drive) How many fans?
'Brand new' sitting on a warehouse shelf, the caps can go bad also. I'd send it back.'Brand new' sitting on a warehouse shelf, the caps can go bad also. I'd send it back.
