Every so often when it to sleep mode it would not start up. Had to turn off computer for it to reboot. Now green light at back and amber light inside but computer doesn't start. Is it the cpu or motherboard? Thanx

There is no way to tell, since it won't even boot up. However, if your computer has a series of indicator LEDs on the back that show what the problem is, sometimes that is useful.

Does the power supply still turn on? If not, then maybe it has gone bad.

At this point, it's just a process of elimination to find the cause.
You could try temporarily putting a different power supply into the computer to see if that fixes it.
