PC went to sleep... zzz...

  I was using my PIII 2 days ago when it suddenly went to sleep (no blue screen or the normal shut down).
  
  Now it doesn't respond to anything. Not the reboot or reset button also.
  
  I suspect its burned out (fan or power or something). How do I confirm this? Either that or some critter must have gone in and fried itself (and short circuited my system)
  
  Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  Is the fan still spinning? If not, it could be the power supply. May not be the motherboard. I've encountered power supply burnout twice already. If so, just change it.

  1) Check ur Power supply 13A fuse
  2) Is your power supply fan turning?
  3) Is the CPU fan (HSF) turning?
  
  etc...
