This morning my computer wouldn't turn on. Usually as soon as i wake up i turn it on. I took off the side panel to see if anything was unplugged and everything is plugged correctly. I was just on it like 7-8 hours ago when i went to bed. I unplugged everything and back up and still nothing. Computer isnt really old almost 2 years now only thing new was corsair 400w psu n sapphire 4670.

I'm sure you have verified that the wall outlet is working. Having said that, it could be the power cord going to the PSU, the PSU itself, the MB or the power switch on the front of the tower.
Try a different power cord.
If there is a PC shop near you, they should be able to test the PSU.
You might also want to try another MB, if you have one.
Basically, when it comes to PC hardware, you have to keep swapping known good parts until you find the bad one.

Or the button on the power strip got flipped 
.

it is odd if it doesn't even start to turn on - but if it studders for a second and just doesn't boot up, its obviously computer components, if it doesn't react at all it could be your power outlet, which is easy to test with other things like a lamp/light just to make sure its working. it wouldn't be your fuse since that would blow out your whole room (and possibly other rooms).
could be the cord, or if it isn't that it definitely is the PSU. if it was the mobo then the PSU would at least try to boot something up, but then it would shut down immediately. so for instance your fans would do like a quarter turn, you'd hear a quick noise and everything would shut off.
but again if it isn't doing anything then its one of those 3 things, or possibly if you have a power bar you accidentally turned it off with your foot? im just speaking from experience, haha

Is it dusty inside? You can clean the inside with compressed air in a can. Does it not even get to the Windows (or Mac) loading screen?
