My computer ain't starting

Hello Group!

Last night while I was working... All of a sudden my computer turned
itself off. After that I couldn't turn it on.

Normally when I turn on the power switch the power light on the CPU
turns on for a second and then turns off. After that I press the
power button then the computer starts.

But after last night. Nothing is happening. The power button is not
working... Nothing is happening after I press that, just the power
indicator of the mother blinks. I opened my computer and I see a
green light on my main-board. None of the fans ain't working.

I'm suspecting the problem could be with the power supply. Or is it
problem with other stufs like Processor and all?

My computer is Pentium 4 1.7 GHz, Intel mainboard.

TIA

So, does it start when it's cold? If not substitute another PS. If it does
start cold suspect an overheating CPU and replace the HSF (heat sink fan).

It does not even run when the processor is cold.

I guess my heat sink expired a long time ago. But I continued using my
computer for a long time.

What could be the affects?
