Take out your hard drive. Visit a friend or someone close. Ask them to use their computer.
Hope this helped you, just doing what i love.

The best I can think of is if you have another computer or a willing friend to allow you to take out your pc's hard drive and swap it into his to fix it.

Replace the computer's power cable. This is the power cable that runs between the computer case and the power source.
A bad power cable isn't a common cause of a computer not receiving power but it does happen and is very easy to test for. You can use the one that's powering your monitor (as long as it seems to be getting power), one from another computer, or a new one.
Perform a "lamp test" to verify power is being provided from the wall. Your computer isn't going to turn on if it's not getting power so you need to make sure that the power source is working properly.
Hope something works

Test the power button on the front of your computer's case. It's not a very common point of failure but your computer might not be receiving power because the power button on the front of your PC is damaged and is not actually turning your computer on.
Replace the power button if it fails your testing. Depending on how your computer's case is designed, you may be able to use the reset button in the meantime.
Replace your motherboard. If you're confident that your wall power, power supply, and power button are working, it's likely that there is a problem with your PC's motherboard and it should be replaced.
While perfectly doable by anyone with some patience, replacing a motherboard is rarely a quick, easy, or inexpensive task. Be sure you've exhausted all of the other troubleshooting advice
