Recently I replaced my motherboard and installed an ASUS A7A266, which is fine. However, The ASUS probe utility is frequently reporting under voltage readings for the 12V, 5V and 3.3V readings. Is this something that should concern me? Where can I read up on this?

These are temporary spikes/drops lasting at most a few seconds.

Thanks

It sounds like you might need a higher wattage power supply.
