PSU or mboard burntout?

[Eshelmen]

Hows it going all?
Havent` posted here for a while.
But now it`s time i do..

I have my computer, which is crap to you guys lol, but its in my sig and its my LIFE!

I took out my computer and did an autopsy like on it"Taking it all apart, cleaning it and stuff"

When i put it all back together, i made sure all fans were hooked up, etc ,etc,.

Then i put the power plug in the comp and monitor, pressed power, and nothing happened.
I`m like oh hellno..
So i turned it on again and i smelled something burning.

I`m straight up like F**k!!!!
So , my fans on my mboard worked, but my psu fans only when on...
So i have a couple things i need to know.....

first, how do i know if its my psu only, or if its my whole mboard?
A friend of mine was telling me, i can do a test to the psu to see if its still working...
So please help me with this..
I`m sick of this lame 256 mb sd ram laptop

when all i can play is cs hahaha

any help would be appreciated
And yes i was thinking
of upgrading my cpu and mboard with psu, to a socket 939 and save ram and put drives in there cause i have an extra 6600 gt pci e card sooo...
any advice on saving this system...????

Unless you have another PSU kicking around, I am not sure how you are going to be able to test the mobo. I would recommend asking a friend, or asking a local PC shop if you can bring it in. There really isn't much more you can do about that.

Also don't bother upgrading to a 939. The socket is dead and there sre less and less of them each day. If you are going to upgrade, just go AM2 or C2D... the prices are almost the same as if you went 939. Memory is pretty cheap right now. You could always buy a new PSU, Mobo, CPU and memory. If the cash is available. You could do all of that relativly cheap now. Up to you though.
