A-power AK units are flaky at best and questionable about their output. You are lucky you didn't fry everything.
This is a review from amazon.
Died within two weeks
Ran fine, if somewhat hot, under a ~600W load for a week or two. Eventually there was loud click and that was the end of this PSU. So if you want a cheap, multi-rail power supply which can't handle a ~65% load for even one month, this is the one for you.

I do not like that you hear a popping sound. But the no boot sounds like a cable plugged into the wrong place on the motherboard.
