Try hitting the power switch on the power supply. This will reset the internal circuit breaker, if there is one. If this does nothing for you I would either return the computer for warranty, or replace the power supply.

I agree with Sumpin_Wong take it back, just make sure you have the power on to the power strip, if you have power then you have a DOA computer (power supply, motherboard)
