Selected shutdown from the window manager and the operating system 
turned off the computer as usual. Tried to restart the computer from the 
switch on the desktop box but it was totally dead.

Where to look for the failure? CPU, motherboard, power supply or 
mechanical switch?

I never thought before about how the operating system shuts down the 
computer. I know there are two wires from the power supply which the 
desktop switch connects to turn on the power supply. How does the 
operating system turn it off?
