Default GAG - Permanent Power Saving Mode - now no more power supply

I write this on my old backup PC:

I started to play GAG two days ago and ran the game in the 256-color compatability mode.

I "minimized" the GAG window to surf a bit, and after a couple of minutes my CPU switched into Power Saving Mode. That´s strange because I disabled the PSM.
I suppose it´s still activated in "compatibility mode" though.

I couldn´t get out. Not via keyboard nor mouse actions.
Even keeping the power button pushed for a couple of seconds didn´t work.

So after some time I decided to unplug the Computer from the socket.
No sparks, no sounds which would indicate a malfunction.

I plugged the power cable back in, and now the CPU doesn´t get any more power.

Is the power supply broken ?
Or does the computer still "thinK" it´s in power saving mode.

Any suggestions ?
pls help
