Computer will not power on

[Buhrdur]

I do not know where put this thread so I will put it here, so sorry for any inconvenience.

I tried to turn my computer on a couple of weeks ago after relocating it, it just wouldn't come on so I tried a different cable connecting from the PSU to the socket, still nothing, tried an older PSU and it turned hmmmm, I unplugged it and plugged the other one back in and I heard a frazzling immediately after turning the power on from the motherboard connector followed by a faint smell of burning from the area on the motherboard.

So I got a brand new Motherboard and PSU, connected everything up and nothing... checked the PSU using a paper clip the fan started up but still nothing would happen if I connect it to the brand new motherboard. Could anyone assist?

Please list all of your components, make and model, especially PSU. Do not say "600W. PSU". Say "Corsair CX600M".

Looks like a pretty good system, good components. PSU is Tier 3 but that should be OK.

Try THIS (LINK) troubleshooting list and see if you can find anything wrong.
