I finished building my custom PC and when I turned it on after 10 seconds there was a beeping then everything started flickering and lastly there was a loud pop coming from the PSU. It will not turn on now. any idea what I should do? Did all the parts just get fried? How was the pop caused? I will be very great full for all replys!

You bought a crappy power supply.  If you bought everything from the same retailer I would RMA the whole thing because you don't know what could have been damaged.

 

This is why it is best to use the paperclip trick and verify the power supply works before hooking everything into it.

Did you use the standoffs when you installed the motherboard?  If not that could have caused it to short out.

Tt's a decent PSU not bad but long term it's not as good but as others have said the PSU looks like it's dead. I would get another PSU and give everything a test to see if it's still good not much else can be done until a replacement.

 

Contact Corsair about the dead CX 750 and try to get a return or replacement.

That would be Popeing

I mean it is still pronounced the same. But I don't think it is grammatically correct to have the e before the ing.

Contact Corsair and ask them what to do. Explain what happened and find out from the what you should do. Maybe you'll get a free replacement, and get to keep the broken one with whatever in it isn't dead?

Alright I'll be sure to do so tomorrow morning

 

If you are still under the 30 days it would be better to send it back to wherever you bought it.  Also the short could have damaged all the other electronics in the computer.  So if you bought everything from Newegg or Amazon you should send something to them and tell them what happened.  Ask if you can return the whole thing because you don't know how much damage the bad power supply caused.
