Solve : Tower turns on while no response from other pieces.?

1.	Solve : Tower turns on while no response from other pieces.?
Answer» I was using my father's GATEWAY GT5438 this morning when the display froze, I tried using the command ctrl+alt+delete but it wouldn't change so I forced shutdown his computer. When I tried to power it on again his tower would light up and would make the appropriate NOISES but there was no response from the keyboard, mouse, or the MONITOR itself. I have checked that all of the wires were intact, and double checked that the monitor was turned 'on' along with the wireless mouse. He uses Windows Vista on his computer and rarely ever shuts it down. I plan on CALLING Staples when they open to see if they can have a look at it but that will not be for a while and I was hoping somebody on here could ease my mind. I am hoping that it is just something to do with his monitor. He has had this computer for over 6 years.
