Is there anyway to check whether the stuff you have is DOA?

I just got my replacements from Newegg ... a MSI KT333 Ultra along with my CPU ... Tried to start the computer and got a few things I neva encountered before:

1) Burning smell (at first)
2) No Led Lights at all on my casing. (Tried reversing them both ways)
3) Computer does not start up at all.
4) Power supply comes out with a funny sound(high pitch sound)

Only things I see working is(with the Enermax P/S):
1) Floppy disk drive lights
2) Power supply fans, CPU fan,
3) the D-bracket included with the Mobo showing 2 red lights on the top row and 2 green on the bottom.

Using a Enermax 350W here with a XP 2000+. <--- I'm not sure if the CPU burned... was using a Volcano 9 fan and it was working well.. Memory is 512Mb PC2700 Kingston...(Everything was working perfectly before I sent in the CPU and mobo for replacement)

I did try using another crappy power supply(PowMax 400W) and the computer couldn't even start at all!

One weird thing as well:
I couldn't even switch on the power from the main power switch!! I could only switch it on the computer via its power supply!!

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks -- Desparado
