Computer is on but nothing is working?

Sometimes randomly my computer just goes blank, all the fans and the graphics card are all working fine, but my optical mouse and my keyboard show no signs. Nothing displays on the monitor. The lights are on in the computer and it shows that it is on. Maybe harddrive failure?

Can you tell us more about your computer? Specifications such as CPU, motherboard, video card, etc. Brand and model if it's a prebuilt system.
