Welcome to Techspot!

If you are saying there is no fan starting PSU,CPU or case ,no power.
You gotta start by returning that PSU and try another.
 
If lights are on and fans are spinning when it powers up, but there's no video. Could be a loose screw shorting the mobo.

Buzzing PSU usually means a short circuit somewhere. Sometimes the coils buzz a bit too, that's normal, but it shouldn't be clearly audible.

Sounds odd though that it just stopped working like that.
 
Try to turn off the PSU at the switch on the back off the computer for about a minute then try to switch on if that doesnt work get a new PSU :(
