Power

l;left my pc to hibernate, now it wont power on? whats up with that?

Presumably you've pressed the keyboard etc? I believe you can configure a machine to not come out of hibernate with the keyboard in the bios or OS.

Press the power button once and it should spring to life. Don't confuse the reset button with the power button though or obviously you are just rebooting the machine!

Hibernate saves your state to the hard drive, some machines stay in a semi live state watching the keyboard(my desktop does) others power fully off and need the power button pressed again to boot then they load it back off the hard drive(my laptop does this)

If you have pressed the power button and it still wont start up, unplug it for 5 minutes, make yourself a sandwich, plug it back in, and see if it will start up, if not you managed to suffer a major component failure.
