    But before I start it up I took a picture of my CPU and noticed the grey chalky texture, which can be scratched off. Is this normal?

    It is safe to say it is in fact my CPU that randomly went kaput. hence the burning smell I originally smelt.

    While I can understand your frustration, it's just not possible that the installation of Windows 7 was the cause of your problem. The main suspect here is your power supply, as according to what you have told us it was correctly installed and connected, and it was the only different component that was attached to what was previously a perfectly working PC. If that's the case, I'd be contacting the retailer and/or Corsair for replacement or reimbursement. I'm sure there are consumer laws in your country which protect end users against damage due to faulty workmanship or products that aren't of a merchantable quality. If you take this route, prepare to prove that the installation was undertaken according to manufacturers instructions. If the power supply was incorrectly connected to the motherboard, inspection by an electronics repair technician will show that in either the motherboard or the power supply's circuitry.
    Let us know what happens, I for one am curious to hear what the diagnosis would be :)

If I replace my MB, then will I be able to use the same HD and OS? Or will it be void and I have to pay for another OS?
