come on now .. title suggested as if somebody stole ur pc...
try putting some sensible title rather than trying to get attention with all the "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

most probably its ur smps .. check that if the power supply is ok ..
as within overnighjt procy fail is not high probability...

open the cabinet and see if there are any signs of any component being burnt.
Try to run your computer with a different SMPS

Smell ur cabinet if something is fried!

Check if power is coming to Motherboard and since u have 5 PC, then change the PSU and see it problem remains!

Dude people in the world owns only one PC( including me) but u have "FIVE"!!!!

U can do so much by yourself!
Just do it!

Sure i am not sure :p
Can be mobo capacitor syndrome, can be psu, can be processor, can be ram, can be bios, can be nb, can be faulty wires.
I just happen to have suffered a similar fate with a dead proccie :D.

I don't know much much but when I had experienced such thing, the culprit was a internal TV tuner card. Just try removing all the addon-cards(if any) and try.

Also, there may be some dust issues in RAM. Try cleaning the slots. And since you have many RAMs, try if one from another system works!
