More experimenting with my crippled computer; the power supply may not have been the problem after all. Today dad tried a different video card and the same stuff was happening: the computer would boot up okay for a minute and then shut off again, and something still definitely smells like it's fried. Since the power supply is brand new that can't be the problem. Since this time we had the side off and the smell seemed to be coming from the motherboard/CPU vicinity, I'll need to get new ones and see how that works out.
