Hey everyone,

Before I get into the problem, let me post my specs -

EVGA 590 SLI Mobo
Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.8gig CPU w/ Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
GSKILL 2x1 GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Model # F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
BFG 7950GT
1 x Seagate ST3400620AS 400gig HDD
1 x Seagate ST3500630AS 500gig HDD
LITE-ON DVD Burner Model # LH-20A1L-06
LITE-ON Combo Drive Model # DH-52C2S-04
CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX PSU
Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 32bit
Antec 900 Case
Samsung Syncmaster 226BW LCD Monitor

OK, everything was going fine when all of a sudden my computer just shut down. When I tried to power it back up, I get absolutely nothing when I push my power button. My monitor and speakers both have power, but nothing else happens.
Any ideas?????????? Please Help!!
 
Thats a bit vague, did you check the power supply? or perhaps the wiring for the power button? Sometimes power supplies are DOA. And sometimes people assemble the computer forgetting the power button wires or hooked em up backwards.

This system was assembled about 3 and a half weeks ago and has been running just fine. It simply shut down out of the clear blue and I get nothing when I try to power it back up. Power supply could be the culprit, as we all know anything could happen with hardware, but how is it that my monitor and speakers still power up?

You need to reword or better explain that sentence. The PSU has no bearing on whether or not your monitor and speakers turn on.
 
Amazing. I took out the Corsair HX 620 PSU and put in a Rosewill RX750-D-B PSU that was sitting in a spare case not currently being used and what do you know, my computer powered right up!!!

Thanks to the folks who replied and helped me out here!!!

Looks like it's RMA time for the Corsair PSU. Shame too, because now I'll probably never buy another PSU with thier name on it.
