Help with a first build.

Right guys im back haha. Right upon the assumption that his processer was dead I wanted to check. Luckily for him I had built a computer of almost the exact same spec ( minus the psu and case ) as him.
I tried his processer in my machine and it worked absolutly fine. Loaded up BC2 no worries css everything. So ruled that one out.
Next I thought Id try his processer powering my machine, tried this and got no power to my machine at all :O. I tried my psu in his machine and didnt get anything either.
Does this more then likely mean the mobo and psu are faulty ? I tried the ram and graphics in my machine they were also fine.
Thanks for all the help and advice
p.s ( On a personal note since swapping out the processers into my computer its running, albeit only a little, slower then what it did before. Is this normal ? Would a disk defrag help here. Its only very very marginal so wouldnt be to bothered either way.)
Again thanks

Hmm? I assume you meant his PSU powering your machine in the second paragraph?
Sorry yes thats what I meant. Tried his psu in my machine and it didnt give any power out what so ever.
Time to RMA that PSU then, if it is not supplying any power, then it is obviously gone. I think that noise you heard was the PSU.
And you say that your power supply is not working in his machine and all other components are working fine? Then I think the motherboard is gone as well.
Do you have generally good electrical service around your area? Was it stormy weather when it happened? I think that there was a power surge which damaged the PSU and, in the process, the motherboard as well.
There is no way to fix a blown PSU or a dodgy motherboard, at least unless you work for a manufacturer or something
The only thing you can do now is contact OcUK (I'm assuming you bought from here?) and arrange an RMA.
