Computer Will Not Start Up after being shutdown normally.

I shut my computer down via windows. When I tried to fire it back up about two hours later, nothing. I thought it was the power supply and I bought another one. I have checked for loose chips and cards. I removed all the cards and replaced them, still nothing. I do have the 'stand by power' light on the motherboard is on. When I push the on button I can hear my scanner click like it wants to initilize.
My system:
Model: Concentric

3.60 gig Intel Pentium 4
16k primary cache
2048k secondary memory cache
(4) 1024Mb memory mods
(2) 400Gb HardDrives (ST3400620AS)
(1) 200Gb HardDrive (ST3200826AS)
Motherboard is Intel D915GAV with a Bus Clock at 200 Mh.
Attached to the computer:
Epson Perfection 4490 scanner
HP P2015 printer
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 with (2) Viewsonic VG2021m monitors
PRO/100 VE Network controller
DVD/CD RW drive

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.
