Power struggles

Hey guys so yesterday and today I was in the process of swapping cases for my already functioning system. I finally got everything in place and then booted up to see if it would post before I began things such as cable management. It booted up fine to Windows with everything exactly the way I left it in my old case. I shut it down in windows and then left for work. A few hours later I returned to try to continue working and now the pc won't turn on and psu isn't delivering power. It wasn't touched in between this and so I'm confused what happened. Any help would be appreciated thanks a lot

Check to see if the PSU is dead using the "paperclip" method.
