I generally leave my computer on 24/7 and when I returned from school, my computer was off. I checked the power switch on the back of the computer and it was on. Despite this, the front power button does not turn the computer on. However, after turning the back power switch off and then on again, I can visually see the CPU and PSU fans turn on (Aren't they only supposed to turn on when the front power button is pressed??).

Does anyone have any suggestions to trouble shoot the computer and see what's wrong? Unfortunately I don't know a great deal about the hardware--my friend helped me build it--but I'm not an idiot either.
 
Try resetting the CMOS.

Take out the battery, or use the jumper on your motherboard.

If that won't work try isolating the components of your computer to try to find a possible hardware failure.
