Can't get PC to turn on! Help!

Ok I've had my new ibuypower PC for a week now, its been great until this afternoon when I tried to boot it up. So I go hit the power button...nothing...I hit it again...nothing! I figure ok maybe my surge protector tripped and killed the power...however I noticed everything else connected to that surge protector works just fine.

I really don't get why its dead, I was on it last night til 2 AM, shut it off...tried to go back on today at 2 PM...just didn't do anything!

Now I'm pretty sure its the power supply that just died somehow...but on my AOpen MOBO there is this red LED that is always on when there is some form of power, along with the lights on my LAN card and those are all on. So does this sound like a power supply thing or what?

Now lastly, my biggest fear...a "uber" virus...however I wasn't aware of viruses that prevent you from turning on the PC...I knew of ones that would let you turn it on and boot up to nothing but at least you would get the power flowing (this isn't happening here).

So opinions?
 
Might try swapping the memory around on the mother board and checking the LED's to make sure they are connected to the power button correctly. Those two things are a common source of problems.
