Computer unplugged while running, won't turn on

Ok, so my parents just got a new computer which they used for a day and then they said it looked like it was turned off (black screen and nothing responding etc.) but it was still making a noise (fan was running) so they unplugged it, and they can't get it to come back on. So I checked it (after plugging it back in) and the LED for power lights up green but the fan doesn't start and nothing happens. Anyone know what might be the problem? I wouldn't have thought unplugging it would break it, and it was working fine before this. Sounds like a power supply problem or something but I thought I would ask the experts :)

I don't know the exact specs of it but I think it had an intel dual core, 4gig ram, nVidia 7900 GTX and 2 hard drives and a bunch of other stuff with numbers and letters and things. It's been quite a while since this happened and I have tried recently to plug it all back in again and try but it's still the same.

If it's still under warranty, return it to the place of purchase.
Posting the precise hardware specs would help.
