What happened??

This is almost funny. I had my computer up and running Saturday. I turned it off and got on my laptop because I was doing a mad cleaning spree and the laptop is easier to use during that IMO. So, the computer sat there, unmoving and unused til this morning. Then I picked it up and moved it into the living room from my bedroom. It sat there for about 8 hours, then I carried it back into my room, plugged everything in, hit the power button and... NOTHING. -_-;;;

I checked the power switch, it was on. Now I'm sitting here and the only thing I can think of is 'what happened to my desktop.'

- Blown Circuit Breaker (Plug something else into the jack or nearby jack or check the circuit breaker panel for any flipped switches)
- Switch on back of PSU is actually in off position (Just check where the power cord plugs into a case, there should be a rocker switched labeled the standard "I/O".)
- Bad Power cord (Try another from a separate PC, I always keep about 3 of these in my box filled with wires just in case I need an extra one)
- Power switch disconnected on motherboard side (Try hooking up the reset switch as the power button. It won't hurt anything, and will verify if your power button is functional.)
- Faulty Switch on front of case (Have had this happen to me before)
- Bad PSU (Try in another computer or maybe use a voltmeter/multimeter if you are skilled in that area)
- Bad Motherboard (Try processor, RAM, Video Card in separate computer, Try PSU in separate computer.)

In addition, do you hear any beeps? No Fan noises?

Found the issue. Power button connector from the case to the motherboard was loose. It's working now. ^_^

Glad you solved it, sometimes moving a pc around can jossle the internal connections. I've had that happen before too.
