Hello I just built a new computer. Turned it on for the first time and heard a series of POPS and electrical burning smell coming from power supply, it also flipped the breaker off for that section of the house. I connected an 850wat power supply that is working fine in another build. When I hit the power button a few lights flash for 1 second on the motherboard and than nothing, the power button does nothing. I'm afraid my whole build is trashed now as it isn't powering on with a working power supply. Please help.

My new build is

Intel - Core i5-9600k
Corsair H100 cooler
Gigabyte - Z390 Aorus Elite
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666, 2 8 gig sticks
Corsair Force GT 240 GB SSD
An old 200g sata drive
Thermaltake ToughtPower RGB 1250W 80+ Titanium power supply

If you saw a bright flashy light on your motherboard followed by the PC shutting itself down and not starting again (+ burned smell) then I am 99% sure that there is a short circuit on the motherboard...
You have to send that Mobo back. It should be under Warranty just contact the seller
