My brother seems to have broken his relatively new pc!

The story goes..blue screened, then restarted and worked fine for an hour. Then just turned off.

Now you press the button on the case and nothing happens, no power at all.

I can transfer parts from mine to elimate the fault, but whats the best order to try things? I would have thought PSU, its the OCZ modular 520 off the top of my head, but the master on/off switch on the back of the psu is still illumated when plugged in, so would this not be off if the psu was broken?
 
Turned the switch on, on the psu and then on the case, smelt of burning and psu started squeeling. No power was provided to any components though.

Stripped out his psu and put mine in there and everything worked fine.

So looks like the Hiper 580 Type R modular is dead. I remember reading quite a few problems with these.

Anyone know the warranty on these?
