maybe this will help or maybe it wont...most likely it wont

 

[giant384]

the chipset fan wouldnt have anything do with not turning on something busted and u said u smelled a burning smell so check for burn marks on ur hardware

 

[Kamikazie]

might be something on your motherboard, one of the wires, cd drives...just check everything

Burning smell sounds like a capacitor blowout, check these on the motherboard

My thoughts exactly.

Turns out that when my computer died, my motherboard had blown not one, not two, but seventeen capacitors. Oh, fun times. Fun times indeed.

Hope you get your computer fixed soon.

Open your case and locate the busted capacitors to verify that it's your motherboard. Then bust out your warranty and make some phone calls.

do u not pay attention to anyones post he said he smelled a burning smell and if u put a anothor psu in and nothing works its not the psu

And remember, the busted capacitors are the ones with the warped, "blown-out" tops, as if someone tried to punch his way through the middle of a four-slice pizza.

Oh yeah? Because the replacement PSU must be in perfect working condition just because...why?

 

[giant384]

because rarely ur psu will burn up

Try taking your graphics card out and put a diffrent one in. I've had a graphics card in a computer before, wouldn't even start up. Took it out and worked like a charm(had to use onboard )

Pesmerga, it's much much more likely that one component has failed rather than that two components have failed independently of each other.

In any case, the PSU is ridiculously easy to isolate. Unplug the PSU entirely from your motherboard and all components. Short pins 13 & 14 (green & black). Give it power. If the PSU fans spin up, you're good, if they don't, it's dead.
