What was your old power supply, and what power supply did you get?

Just to confirm, you are using the modular cables that came with the new power supply, right? You can't just disconnect modular cables from the old power supply and plug them into the new one, you have to disconnect them from all your devices and run the new cables. Even if they fit the pinout isn't standardized so that has the potential to fry attached devices.

Unless you already smelled smoke you probably haven't and it will hopefully just work when you swap in the correct cables.
