Alright so one day my computer just died while I was sitting on it and I thought the cheap PSU I bought had just stopped working and ordered and newer more expensive one. I plugged everything up and the computer won't power on. I decided I would try to jump the power switch leads on the mobo and it actually turn on for like 3-5 seconds. What is going on here? I've tried all kinds of troubleshooting guides on this site but I still get no power or anything. I did the paper clip trick on both power supplies and both of them started running. I'm starting to think maybe the original cheap PSU fried the mobo so I have a new mobo on the way
 
Solution
Diablotek is the worst of the worst. That unit will fry everything else in your computer for sure. Its is decently likely things like RAM/CPU/GPU are toast.

Get a Corsair, Seasonic, antec, XFX PSU.

Diablotek is worse than logysis.

The first one was a logisys the one now is called diablotek. I haven't had a working computer for 2 months now and it's killing me. How likely is it everything is ruined?
