I was resuming my computer from sleep earlier, and just as "Resuming Windows" had finished, the computer turned itself off. And stayed off. Not even a motherboard light was on. And now I can't get it to turn on. I've tried removing the power cable, changing plugs, power cables etc, and still nothing. I assume this is a PSU issue rather than a motherboard issue? It's a Corsair TX650W that I bought 2.5 years ago. The motherboard I bought 2 weeks ago.

Is there anything else I can try to do to fix it? Is there any way I can be sure that it's the PSU?
 
I did it, and after I unplugged everything I switched the PSU on, it kind of... sparked a bit and made a light pop/bang. I put the paperclip in anyway and the fan DID come on. What should I take from this?
 
My concern now is that it did some damage to my motherboard or other components before I removed everything. Is that likely?
