Burning smell, doesnt start up

Comment:

Hi, I recenty cleaned up my pc and reinstalled all the software/drivers etc but when I tried to reboot it there was a burning smell coming from the back and it wouldnt start (I have an orange light on the power button but when I press it it does nothing and doesnt turn green). I tried changing the power supply but no joy. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Solid orange light on the power button indicates a bad power supply.
