  Right, I've now multimetered the voltages,

 The 12v line is running at 12.74v
 The 5v line is running at 5.40v 
 A little high in both cases.
  I didn't check the -13v line
 I took readings from a couple places: Straight off the PSU plug, and in the
 case of the 12v, at the monitor plug.
 I wasn't sure about the 5v; I took a reading across each of the 8132 chips,
 getting 4.14v and 4.16v; but I guess those may not be meaningful as the
 chip itself will be taking some of that power. 
 8132 chips?
 
Hi
 These are bus buffers. It does sound like there is a bbad ground path.
He should try using a good jumper to cross connect the ground.
