Recently moved house and as such haven't had my PC on for about a week.

Plugged it in earlier .... nothing. No sound, no fans spinning, nothing posted to screen.

The motherboard lights are on when I have the power cable plugged in but as per above, the PC seems to be dead.

Any ideas?
 
Sounds obvious but have you made sure nothing has come lose during transport?

I had this when I finished building my first build at my friends house. Took it home and it didn't work, cable came lose. Worth a look?
 
Checking cables and connectors would be in general first troubleshooting check after moving.

But assuming its signature's PC could well be 5V standby failing after bad capacitors cooled down.
If you keep PSU always connected to wall, those capacitors can stay warm and work just enough.
But when you disconnect PSU from the wall they "cool down permanently".

And most OCZ PSUs have had at best second rate capacitors.
Checking 600W models basically all were low end cheapos with cheap capacitors.
Also all are such medieval crap that it should have been replaced years ago.
(rule approving exception being Seasonic made PC Power&Cooling model not actually made for OCZ)
