K so anyone can answer me this?

I shut my computer down, t ocheck my printer, it wasn't reading to the computer. SO I shut it down and check evertything and a little while later I go to turn it back on....nothing. So I disconnected everything and reconnected every wire, even switched out the power cord (it was chafed some) and it still won't come on, the Speakers and the Printer will, so its not the outlet and Surg Protector. Anyone know what happened? What can I do to fix it! friggin sucks! First the sister STEALS money from me right off my desk (actually a Visa Gift Card) and NOW this. I just don't get how this happened, the computer was running fine, in fact I restarted it yeterday because it was running slow, and it rebooted fine. Only thing I can think of is It does not have enough memory to run? Seems far fetched but I only have 200 MB left on a 56GB hard drive.

After redoing EVERYTHING about 3x....checking the wires, checking the cord (my original was a lil chafed, got a different one, dad had an extra one laying around). SO I unplug everything and all, father says take it downstairs he'll look at it tomorrow night, well I get my old monitor, the tower, and the power cord, the mouse and the keyboard, and GUESS WHAT! The sumbitch WORKED, so I go back up here to my room, and plug the power cord back in, and IT WORKS. Here's the weird thing though: My mouse took forever to read to the computer (it's wireless, so I have a sensor that connects to the Computer itself, with the mouse being detected by the sensor, if you shut the computer down, you have to unpug and replug in the Sensor/Receiver (whatever you wanna call it)) and I shut it down and it did it AGAIN. So I took the tower moved to a different outlet, and of course fired right up, unpluged it and replugged everything BACK in again and now everything works (had a hell of a time havng the computer detecting the Keyboard, which is not wireless...weird). SO after all those troubles everything is back to normal. So its the outlet, dunno why, maybe it just doesn't give it enough juice to fire it back up or not.

I'd be willing to bet the ATX power connector is loose, and moving it around jiggled it back into position.
