No Power

My wife's computer stopped working the other day. She would push the power
button and nothing would happen. I guessed ot was either the power button
or the power supply. I bought a new case but it didn't start up. Next
thought it was the motherboard, so I bought a new mother board. Still no
power. Any ideas?

Did you excahnge the power supply? It is the most likely cause.
And in case you did, has the nwe one enough power?

(Someone has to ask...)

Do the lights in the room work when you switch them on?
Do other devices work in the outlet the computer is plugged into?
Did you try using another outlet in another room?
