My computer will not power on.

My computer is about 2 years old, got it 2 years ago on christmas, so it’s fairly new. Everything in it is about 2 years old except my brand new Video Card that I got a few months back.

While playing R.U.S.E BETA with a friend of mine, my computer just shut off completely and now refuses to turn back on. I’ve tried alot, For example so far i’ve unhooked everything from the computer except for the vitals…. tried to power on… and nothing. I use my computer every day, and no problems have arised until now.

When I press the power on button I hear a tiny whiz then nothing from the power supply, also the LED lights on my motherboard arent lit up at all. And when I plug my power supply in, if i listen closely i can hear the quiet vibrations of the electric current going in, so i do not know what is wrong.

My Specs:

GIGABYTE E8500 Motherboard 3.2GHz

4GB RAM

600W Echo Star Power Supply

ATI Radeon HD 4890 1G DDR5

Windows XP 32 bit

Any help would be appreciated.
