No, the power supply is ok, more likely to be a faulty motherboard.

What about other devices, e.g., after hitting the power switch do any fans start to spin, or can the DVD drive eject?

It could be a bad power supply, but keep in mind that when you power up, the motherboard checks all the voltages. If any voltages are out of tolerance (or missing) it will not allow the power supply to stay up.
So if the motherboard is dead, it will also cause the power supply to appear to be bad.
