How could a power supply do all this?
Was your old one bad?
Maybe the new one was bad.
I don't think a power supply can fry anything. I think either it would work or not. Looks like not.

That bites and I am going to say it is doubtful too in my opinion. I'm sure everything happened as you say but I doubt a power supply can nuke a mobo. I also bet I may be very very wrong. Get back to the old one. Make sure you have everything plugged in good, especially ram!
