Upon inspection of my computer this morning, I found that the monitor and mouse are no longer receiving any signal from the system and the power button no longer works. Have any ideas on what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it?

Check to see if you have plugged power button in correct PIN on your motherboard ?

Sth like this picture ( PWR is the correct pin for plugging in the power button pin ) :

Probably a problem in your PSU or motherboard. Try reconnecting all the Power cables to your motherboard.

If your motherboard has an onboard speaker the beeps could tell you what might be wrong.
If the power cable is connected and the LED light turns on (without power button), then the motherboard may still be fine.
Double check the button connectors as well. Given that the mouse and keyboard also don't work, it may be that those pins have been moved out of place, since both the power button and USB ports are powered from the motherboard using those connectors.
