I put my computer together about 6 months ago, and have not had any problems with it. Yesterday morning, when I tried to turn it on, it would not power up. I didn't have any time to do anything untill last night. When I got back home, it powered on just fine. Now today it will not power on again. I opened up the case, and the mb power light is lit up. I tried swapping out power switches with one from another case of mine, but that did not help. I can't think of any thing else that I can check. Can any one help? My system is as follows

A8N 32 SLI
AMD 175 Dual Core
X1900XTX Video Card

Any help would be appreaciated.

*** New Information***
In my attempts to check the problem, I have noticed a high pitched noise coming from the power supply. I'm not sure if that is normal or not, but I had never noticed this sound before. Could this indicate that my PS has taken a dive? On that note, could a bad PS still give a green light on the MB light?

The noise is not normal. Yes, some elements of the psu may be bad and the mb led still lights up, indicating 5v power.
