Unable to Boot

Hi,

When I went to bed thursday night my PC was working perfectly. When I awoke friday morning my PC failed to start and had no power. I had noticed a light smell of electrical over heating for a couple days but thought it was my Air Conditioner. I replaced the power supply and now I can get the standby led to light on the motherboard and the fans on the CPU and Case start, but the one on the Power Supply does not. There is no monitor activity and after about 15 seconds I get beep codes. One long higher pitched beep followed by a slightly lower pitched long beep. They keep cycling back and forth until the switch on the Power Supply is turned off, the power switch on the case only will turn the system on it will not respond to turn the syetem off.

Asus K7V Mother Board
192 meg 133memory
Athlon 700 CPU
3dfx Video Card
Sound Blaster Live XGamer
System board, memory and Power Supply 1 1/2 months old.

The second Power Supply is not new and may be bad as well, but do the beep codes indicate a further problem?
 
Odd that with the second power supply the case and CPU fan will start but the power supply fan won't....Before you think the board is dead I would get a quality 250-300watt Power Supply to try first.
Does the first P.S. that you removed still have that smell coming from it?
