My computer do not more Turn On: Font possible problem??

I was playing my favorite race game, and, suddenly, my PC turn off and I heard a low noise (sound of "pof") inside it ... I had no break or oscilation of energy when this problem happened...
I use one utilitary of my MoBo Asus P4P800-E de Luxe, which controls for me the temp of processor and MoBo inside case, and It didnt "bipped" any sound, nor my PC locked any time before (which, I think, would means that my processor was having some problem...)
My computer does not more turn on after this problem; its a new PC (so, I think it shouldnt have this kind of problem), with the following spec:
- P4 3.0C
- Asus P4P800-E De Luxe
- Memory Samsung DDR400 (02 sticks of 512MB)
- MSI 9800 PRO
- Drives CDR-W and DVDR-W
- 01 HD SATA (200GB) and other HD ATA100 (40GB)

The font of my PC has 400W, and I think that it can be died... What can have happened??
I am afraid of to have had problem with my new (and expensive) processor; so, I have a technical question: If the processor is fried, the PC do not turn on (as mine)?? But, why would it be fried, if I had no messages of problem from it (Bips, Locks) BEFORE what happened??
The air exit duct (where is the cooler of the font - backside hole of case) was hot when I removed the PC from my desktop; but no smoke or smell of fried thing... Could it be a signal of died font ??
Thanks a lot for any information!

PS: I am using my back-up PC, the OLD and GOOD (VERY RELIABLE) P4 1.6....
 
If you smell the 400W power supply, do you smell a burned odor? I agree, it's probably the power supply. Can you buy a new high-quality power supply to test it? Enermax and Antec are two good brands that you can find at most online stores, and maybe at your local stores too.
 
A "pof" could indicate the fuse blowing in the PSU, right? I do know that with my old puter, sometimes it wouldn't work until I plugged it into a new outlet, but the old outlet would work fine a few minutes later. It was an Antec PSU, but I have no idea what THAT was all about. Could be worth a shot though... Also, do you have a power indicator light on the Mobo? Most have a red or green LED that indicates the Mobo is getting power.
 
Thanks a lot for your attention with me
You are right ! My Font (that's how we "say" here, in Brazil), or, in other words, the Power Suply, is realy died... Thanks God I had no damage with other devices of my PC.
I dont know the "brand" of my old PSU, but I delivered my PC to a "technical" (I dont know to handle inside case), and it replaced my old PSU (surelly of BAD quality) by another of 500 W, which, I think, will be better and more reliable for my new system...
Thanks a lot all you for your hints !
 
Franklogus, I apologize for the rude comment by my countryman above. I am sure your English is much better than his Portugese 😉
 
Well, thanks for your comment, MechBgon !
I am not injured about the comment of Grimbones; I think it's only a Joke ... But, anyways, I think that it's not my "obligation" (a "must") to "dominate" English, because it is not my "native language"... And, despite of this, I think that my english is the "enough" to be reasonably understood...
I have already received many answers from you, MachBgon, and I can afirm that you are really a great guy !! Unfortunately, not all are educated and gentleman as you...
Best regards !!
