Go into the control panel, the system icon, abd the advanced tab.
Go into the Startup and Recovery tab.
Uncheck the box that says "Automatically Restart".
If checked, that can cause the PC to suddenly reboot on even the smallest error. Unchecking the box will not stop the error, but it may stop the reboot so you have a chance to see what the error is.

If the computer does not post at all, meaning no lights, fans, nothing, then it's not going to be a virus.
Like you most likely already guessed, it's a harware issue. The CPU is actually probably the least likely. The PS is very common, and sometimes when the PS goes out, it will take the motherboard/memory/HD with it.
A bad stick of RAM will keep the computer from booting up as well. You can either go about with the process of elimination, or take it to your friendly local tech.

Having a virus on the machine would definitly do that or if you are on a domain, the network team pushing out an update that requires a reboot to it would do it as well.

If it's a laptop, the power cord may have come lose and your battery died. Happens to me all the time.
Definitely could be a virus.
