So I went home for lunch and the computer wouldn't turn on. The motherboard light was on but nothing happened when pushing power. So I reset the power strip, turned on the power supply...the motherboard light came on again and also the 3 lights for the keyboard came on but stayed on for some reason. Push power button and still nothing.

Suggestions? You think this is a motherboard or case button problem?

Thanks
 
Well first, try starting the PC using a screwdriver to connect the two power pins on your motherboard. If the motherboard refuses to start up, then you may have a mobo problem. Also, try a different PSU as well just to rule out a PSU problem.
 
Okay thanks. I was wondering how I would be able to check if it was the case switch. I unfortunately don't have another psu laying around but I may be able to borrow one.
