Assuming that your PC is a desktop the first thing that you should do is check all of your power connections. Make sure that your PC is securely plugged into a wall socket or surge protector and that your power cable is securely fastened into the rear of your PC. Next make sure that your voltage selector switch on the rear of the PC located near the location where your power cable connects. This selector switch, if you are in the US or Canada should be set to 115. Next, make sure the power switch on the front of your PC is not stuck and that there is tension (sometimes the spring gets stuck and when you press the button it does not respond). If after checking all of these items then their may be an issue with your PC's power supply. A couple of items to check is to verify that when you press the power button on the outside of your PC is if any LED's flash or light up. Also, one other item to check is when you press the power button is to check and see if the power supply fan (on back of PC located near power cord) spins briefly or if it spins at all. If none of these items are occurring than it may be that your power supply has gone bad. One other slight possibility is that the wires connecting your power button to your motherboard may have come loose or have a short in them. I hope that this helps.
