a couple of days ago when i turned my computer on there was a delay of about half an hour before it would actually start, now it just wont turn on at all. it makes no noise, no lights turn on, no fans spin. I've tried different power supply cables and different plug sockets but it remains completely dead. does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? Please Help!

You would have to be more specific:

What do you notice when you try to turn it on? (as opposed to when it's off, like HD spins, fans spins, beeps, led lights, video feedback...)

If it is COMPLETELY dead you should try it with another power supply unit.
