How do I figure out what's wrong?
You can start PSU without plugging it to the motherboard, if it will not start, then everything is clear. Maybe it was only a fuse.

Can a CPU short out the power supply?
Maybe thermal grease or something else shorted some pins.

@bpl
Of course I applied exactly the right amount of thermal grease ;) JK, but there was nothing on the pins. I'll check the PSU, good idea!

I do not imply that you made it wrong, something could fly up from the dust. Not very probable, but still.
