    This morning is a sad morning indeed..
    Last night my computer work fine.. No problems at all.. No crashes etc..
    This morning nothing... The monitor is fine..
    But when I press the power button... Nothing at all.. No lights no nothing...
    Now I am basically double checking it is my psu?
    I even changed power leads as well as changed the fused in power leads just to double check...
    So am I correct thinking it is my psu? Or is there any other checks I can do?

    It's most likely the psu but it could be a dicky power switch.

    Have you tried shorting the power switch header on the mobo? that would elimate the power switch.

    Good job you didnt go for a new PSU, I would never have even considered the power cable to be faulty...everyday is a school day
