Did I burn my CPU/Motherboard?

Allright here's the story.

Yesterday I turned my computer off and went to bed. Today I got back from school, pressed the button and noticed the Monitor ain't responding. Turned it off and leaned to my opened computer and smelled a really bad smell. I looked for any smoke, didn't see any. Turned it on and off two times and on the third time, I noticed some smoke coming out from the part of the RAM sticks!

Quickly took Hard drives out, cables, turned the power supply off...I noticed that one 0.25GB stick wasn't put in correctly for some reason, ignoring the fact I haven't touched it in ages. Took it out, the little side of the injectors were burned and the slot is slightly melted.

So, I kept my PC from power supply for some minutes and took the CMOS battery out, keeping it for more than a minute also.

Put it back and tried turning the PC on...Neither Monitor, Keyboard or Mouse responding. They do nothing....Could It be my CPU? Motherboard?

If yes..How to determine it?

Thank you,

If you have spares, try a different Power Supply, Motherboard, and Memory.

I would use different combinations of both your parts and the spare parts to see exactly what doesn't work (assuming the spares do work). Try to use the spare Power Supply as much as possible, though, if you have one. Because at this point, you or I don't know if the Power Supply is faulty.

I have no idea how I can change either Power Supply or Motherboard.

Memory as in RAM?

I have 3 other sticks.

(I ain't an amateur at this. I just don't know that exact section)
