What happened??

I was playing a game for a good amount of time yesterday and while playing, I left the room for about 15mins and when I returned my computer seemed to be off (I had left it on with the game still running). My monitor's power light was blinking (like my computer wasn't on), but I could hear the computer still on. I rebooted and immediately got a blue screen that said something about if I had installed any hardware or software to reinstall and if this was my first time seeing this message to reboot. So I rebooted and now I don't get anything. My monitor still seems to be not on and the computer seems to not turn the OS on (from what I hear). There aren't any beeps. I've tried unplugging my monitor and plugging it back in, but that didn't work. Someone please help.

Specs (to the best of my knowledge):
Samsung LCD monitor 15"
Wireless keyboard and mouse (logitech)
Wireless internet (netgear)
Titan P4 motherboard
Intel 1.4 ghz cpu
Radeon 9300 graphic card (i think it's around that number)

I had recently updated my driver for my graphic card and the only problem I had was with the same game it said there was an error with my card while playing the, but it still let me play the game.
 
No, I don't have another PSU. But wouldn't a dead PSU not allow my computer to turn on? It seems the computer is on.
 
Then I guess that leaves you mobo.... must have died. Dont worry, they are rather cheap compared to other PC parts.
 
No it wouldnt because your graphics card is connected to the mobo, so if it dies, then your graphics card wont be able to funtion, making nothing come up on your monitor.
 
Ok. You might be right. I unplugged the monitor from the computer earlier and it gave the "check connection" screen and when I plugged it back in, the power light started blinking again.
 
I guess it must be the MOBO then...I connected another monitor and it acted like it wasn't connected.

That happens even if you plug it into the video card, even if the video card wasnt plugged into anything it would still do that.
