No, I don't.

if its under warranty, take it back.

If you can't see any blown capacitors on the motherboard, then it's the PSU. 90% i think it's going to be the PSU that failed. Now depending whether you had a cheap PSU or a quality one, it may have taken the rest of the system with you. When cheap PSU's blow, usually EVERYTHING is overloaded in the system and not just one specific component.

Just hope and pray.

a local pc shop, i know they will replace stuff as they did with my graphics card.
i took in my 690 case and they were amazed they were like "WOAH NICE CASE DUDE!!!" and they forgot to charge me for the queue jump service rofl

ah ok, mind doing me a favour? take the side of your computer off and look at your power supply unit, mind reading the label on the side of it stating the vottage and make / model?

as this will help us tell if its definately your PSU thats blew up.
