Problem with Antec Sonata II

Hi - I am hoping to find some suggestions on troubleshooting a problem that cropped up yesterday. I tried to turn my system on and my computer would not turn on - instead, the power seemed to rapidly turn on-off, on-off, on off - the power led flashing as it went through that cycle. I moved the power cord from my UPS to a wall outlet, but the same problem occurs. Again, as I hold the power button, the power rapidly cycles, and will not power up. I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me if this sounds like the power supply - or maybe the case and/or power switch itself.

Thanks in advance!!
 
Rapidly cycles as in how fast? Are you sure you have the power and reset buttons hooked up correctly to the motherboard?
 
The cycle is about a 1 second interval - it never changes. Yes - the wiring is correct as the computer has been working fine for about 2 years prior to yesterday...
 
Got it fixed! Thanks for the replies. I bought a new Antec 500 watt supply locally, and that fixed the problem.. thanks!
