Most likely a bad psu. Can you smell anything? Electronics gives off a very distinct smell when overheating, caps shorting, etc.    

If it’s still under warranty with DS then have them verify it and they send a new one.   Being a modular psu, changing it should be easy.

A long shot, but try plugging the psu directly into a wall outlet, no surge protector.

No smell or smoke.

I tried plugging into a different outlet but I got nothing.

Double check the On/Off switch on the psu.   It might have tripped..  Not usually, but ya never know. 

Just in case its the mobo and not psu, hard to tell sometimes, unplug the 24 pin and 8 pin from the mobo and short the green and a black wire in 24 pin connector.  Do this by unplugging from the wall, unplug the 24 and 8 pin from mobo, short green and black with paper clip, pins 15 and 16 usually, but go by color,  plug back in and see if the fans , lights turn on.
