Well, this sounds that the problem is elsewhere than your power supply. The power for that LED on the mainboard comes on a different route than the power that makes the mb work (the +5VSB). So, the +5VSB is a separate circuit that provides stand-by power. Other components of your PC might have been damaged if your previous PS failed: motherboard, ...
Check your Power supply on another PC and see if it works.

Your Power box may not have the power to power you computer.
I know this for a fact, relly when you have a lot of drives like burners and CD-Rom and 2 Hard Drives (etc.) it can keep it form powering!!
Answer: Get a power box with more power

Could be that the new PS is faulty -- had this happen recently.
Is the PS 24 pin (to support PCI Express) and the motherboard 20?

if you bought a new power supply was it because there was a fault with the last one ?? if yes it could be that the old power supply was ok its maybe the pc itself.

Maybe if you use standard English punctuation I might know what the h*** you're babbling about.
