Default pc won't turn on

My computer turned itself off and now won't turn back
on. I push the button and nothing happens. It's not the
outlet it's connected to, nor do I think it's the power
cord.

HELP PLEASE!

Several things to try.
Pull the plug from the wall outlet for several minutes and try again.
(try a different wall outlet)
Do a quick jumper of the Start switch.
Check for a burnt smell from the power supply unit.
Remove and reseat the ram sticks.
Check the main cable connector going from the Power Supply Unit to the
Motherboard.
Remove and restore cable connections to everything.
