Hi! I got a problem! When I shut down the PC yesterday and open, there is no problem! But today, there is a problem when I open(boot) up the computer! I press the switch but the computer just won't powered up! May I know what is the problem and the ways to solve it?

Check your plugs. Looks more like a connection problem than a hardware problem to me.

just a thought,try these:
change the (kettle) cable plug into another power point, or replace the power source within your computer.

Your computer's power supply - :-)
Does the fan in the power supply turn on when you hit the computer's power switch?
As to why? Stuff happens -

When I turn on the power to the computer, the computer itself wont on(totally no power) and hence how the fan is going to run? :-)

Well, Mr.Foo - SOMETIMES THE COMPUTER WILL NOT TURN ON, BUT THE POWER SUPPLY FAN IS RUNNING, OK? :-)
Anyway make sure it's plugged into the wall socket and the wall socket is supplying electricity- sounds like your power supply quit on you - it happens, just like that *snaps fingers*

I have check the cable to there and there is current flowing through the wall socket so should not be a problem!
