Okay so I've run into a possible major issue. My computer was running absolutely fine the other day. Now, I go to turn it on and it won't turn on at all Or rather, it does for not even half of a second (light from video card comes on then off, fans slightly move from power supply and other areas and nothing more) and there's a burning smell coming from the inside now but I don't see any burning marks or anything that looks like it got burned even slightly. I took out a few things (one stick of ram, heatsink fan and my video card) and it's still not starting up. I read online in a few other places that it could very well be my power supply, but I have no idea how to diagnose what exactly is causing this, because I thought it would have been my motherboard as well. I can't turn my PC on literally at all, so no way to check anything other than by possible trial and error of checking parts as much as I can. Does anyone know of a possible solution or what could actually be going on?
