What caused my computer to die ?

Hi
I built my system a few weeks ago and all was well. Last night while using it, the screen went black, the monitor went to a yellow light. I tried to reboot (both a warm and cold boot). I pushed the On button, the light for the hard drive lights up, the light for the Floppy lights, the case fans run and thats it. No beeps, nothing on the monitor screen (stays yellow) and the two above lights say on.
I have a
Asus P3BF
Voodoo 3 3000AGP
Pentium3 700 Retail and not overclocked
128 megs of Mushkin PC133
Maxtor hard drive
 
Were you able to get the computer up and running again later? If yes, then it sounds like your computer went into standby mode andwasn't able to wake up. This happens if you don't have proper drivers or your hardware just can't handle it.
