Oh, there could be a whole heap of reasons. Leaving it overnight wasnt a good idea... should have took the blow dryer to it immediately.

1. Could have fried the PSU
2. Memory could be fried
3. Motherboard could be fried
4. etc. etc. etc.

ouch.

Well, to be frank, there is a good possibility you may have fried the power supply. I would first check the power supply, then mother board, then memory in that order.
