Dead PC, help please

I was using my PC the other day when it just died and would not restart. Hadn’t noticed previously due to having a cold, but there was a whiff of electrical overheat/burning in the air and had been for some time. First thought was the PSU, which was replaced but made no difference. Messed about with the on/off switch, bypassed it but still no joy. The machine appears completely dead - there is no response at all when powered up.

My technical expertise (or lack of it) is now exhausted. I suspect knackered motherboard and /or CPU, but anyone wiser than I out there have any pearls of wisdom?

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

Spec
Athlon 1400+
Gigabyte 7DXR-??? Motherboard
XP pro (SP2)

Other details can be provided if required when I get home.
