PC will not turn on at all

I left my computer on last night, and when I woke up this morning, it had shut itself off. I tried to turn it back on, but absolutely nothing happened. Naturally, I checked all wire connections but to no avail.

I would assume the problem is the power supply, but there is a green light on the motherboard which still lights up, and when I unplug the power the supply, my speakers pop a little, indicated that they're power was cut. I am unsure of how to proceed now.

My specs:
RAM: 6 GB

Power supply: Antec TPQ-850 850W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE

Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor Model ADX6400CZWOF

CPU Fan: Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Big Typhoon CPU Cooler

Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Graphics card: SAPPHIRE 100270SR Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready

Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

I would definitely suspect the psu. That system is going to require a lot of juice and antecs not so good. If you can, borrow a good one from a friend for testing. If not you can go get one from a store and return if it does not resolve the issue.
