I recently upgraded to an athlon 64 3200 socket 754 and an epox 8kda3j. when i start up my computer it turns off in less than a second. if i turn it on again it stays on but never posts, then it starts to smell bad, like the cpu is burning up, but the hsf hardly gets warm, and the cpu doesnt have any burn marks or anything. what could be the problem here?
 
i have the 4 pin power connecter attached. i have the aforementioned cpu and motherboard, a 480w thermaltake purepower, geforce 4 ti4600, scythe ncu-2005 cpu cooler, and i have 2 512 meg sticks of ocz ram. on the epox motherboard it has an led diplay, when i turn it on it displays FF which is the code for Boot Attempt. right now all i have rigged up is the mobo, cpu, memory, and video card, so it should still be posting, but it is not.
