And I suppose you've still got no other processor to try?
Sucky situation you've got there.

could it be the processor?

do you really think it's worth sending the processor back? i've got limited experience with processor problems and wouldn't know what the symptoms would be

Feck knows, I've never had one fail on me.
In fact I've never had a machine work as badly as hers does, from the get-go.
Ones I put together usually (always, really) work, at least until I get experimental.
(see other thread for examples of me getting experimental)
It had to be something other than the mobo as it keeps doing it, that much is certain.
Unless those PCchips mobos are so crap that they can't handle what they are supposed to. You could call the people you ordered it from and ask them what they think.
Also, I'd have thought they tested the mobo before they sent you a new one. That's how my supplier does regarding RMAs.

Just saw this review for teh mobo, could the graphics card be messing everything up?“Beware that the SiS748 chipset does not support AGP 1x and 2x graphics cards which require 3.3V. Only the 1.5V cards can be used. I only discovered this after I bought a motherboard with this chipset and then discovered my graphics card runs at 3.3V, although this information is not easy to find.”
We have Radeon 7000 64MB AGP DDR TV-Out, can't find teh voltage anywhere

^re: agp cards.
That tells you the voltage, but the best way to make sure that it has nothing to do with your graphics card is to try another one, of course.

Your card....
We recently dealt with a new build that exhibited behaviour similar to yours.Originally Posted by Radeon
After replacing the board AND processor, the tech finally swapped out the vid card (which had already POSTed in a different PC) and the problem was solved.
My first NF3 DFI LanParty motherboard refused to POST with a ATI 9600XT installed...a card which still lives on in my father's machine.
The point being that yes, video cards can seriously screw up your diagnostics.
Your best and easiest next move might be to install an old PCI vid card and see what happens.
That way you have bypassed the AGP bus altogether and can go from there.

The graphics card is sounding more and more like the culprit, the blue screens occur in safe mode just before the logon screen, after the text commands have gone, and in normal mode, almost instantly, which is right before the graphic windows boot screen appears
sounds about right, does it not? Cos all the blue screen messages have never once mentioned teh graphics?
