I have a hp pavillion 7850. It started having problems about a month ago. I would have to hit the power button a few times before it would turn on. Now it wont turn on at all. I have 120 volts coming throught the power cord. When I unplug the power cord from the back and then plub it back a green light comes on. When I hit the power button the light goes out.
 
Have you recently added any new hardware, or added ANYTHING beyond what it came with from HP? Sounds as though the PSU is bad, or perhaps over-loaded. Do you see any smoke, or get a funky smell when you turn it on?
 
what it sounds like is a dead Power Supply which is not giving out proper power, the only thing you can do is buy a matching Power Supply and replace the old one
