New power supply and PC won't boot

I have recently got a new PSU for my computer so i could put another GPU in (8800 GTX SLI) and after installing the new PSU the computer simply wont boot. Upon hitting the power button all the case and gpu fans start spinning but the CPU fan (a Zallaman) wont fire up and the monitor says there is no input signal (even the mother board bios wont launch). The interesting thing is that upon hitting the power button again to turn the system off the zallaman cpu fan lights up (LED) and spins for just a second before the whole system stops. I put in the old power supply and removed the new card to return the computer to its previous functioning state to find the same exact results: no cpu fan and input... What could have gone wrong? My step-dad thinks the processor died, plausible? Thanks in advance

specs:

900 Watt Topower PowerBird
2x 8800 GTX
Intel Q6600

I doubt it's the power supply. You might have forgotten to plug the CPU power cable in, or another power cable. Go back to make sure all cables are in their right place and all the way inserted.
