Did you leave it unplugged for awhile? Like just unplug the cable from the back? Occasionally desktop power supplies build up excess capacity and are overcharged. This will discharge over time.

Sometimes leaving it alone helps


also, blow on everything to get the dust out. and then leave it alone, then try it.

The real question is, how are you online if your computer is broken?

If everything else fails, pop open the case. If all those capacitors on the motherboard that look like soda cans have bumps on the top of them, then your computer is fried.
