Recently I had a power supply die on me with a loud pop/spark & ozone smell (from overheating or something, not too sure) which made me replace it (new PSU is same as old PSU). The power supply I had previously and the same one I replaced it with is a Solid Gear 850W PSU.
I uninstalled the old PSU and installed the new one with everything plugged in correctly as far as I know (literally triple checked everything), and now if I press the power button nothing turns on. No fans, lights, or anything. Occassionally (not always, usually every ten tries) when pressing the power button, I'll hear a very quiet low noise coming from my PC as if it's going to start up, but it literally lasts less than a hundredth of a second.
I'm wondering, do I have a faulty PSU (though, Solid Gear claims to have done approval tests on it before shipping it to me via Amazon), or is my motherboard fried (a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 with 8 4gb RAM sticks)? Something very odd I have noticed though is that my PC's speakers (uses USB ports in the back of my PC, which I'm pretty sure is connected to the motherboard?) turn on when plugged in the USB port and when the PSU is connected to power and with everything else plugged in correctly (but still nothing turns on at all).
I'm very concerned, and have been looking all over this site and others for solutions, but nothing so far has worked.. If needed, I can give out all of my PC specs upon request. Thanks in advance.
