Default Brother's computer won't turn on

Hi there,

My brother leaves his computer on for weeks at a time, and one morning I found his cpu fan howling and the computer would not respond. Later in the day, my mom reset the power bar since she couldn't turn it off either.

When I went back to his computer, I found that it simply would not turn on again. My dad has taken it apart and used a volt meter to find that all of the power cable circuits still carry a charge and the light on the motherboard is still illuminated. He has also checked the wires to the power button, but it will just simply not turn on.

Any ideas of what may be wrong or has my brother finally killed his computer?

Thanks.

Is the PSU fan and CPU fan spinning at all?

No, nothing spins, beeps, or makes any sounds. The light on the motherboard and the charge in the power cables is the only indication that the PC has power.
