What happens when you've captured all of an opponents pieces and its left with his king.

If he won't resign, you have to checkmate him. If you don't have enough material to achieve this, or don't make it in 50 moves (as can happen with a difficult mate like with bishop and knight), or run out of time in the process, or stalemate him, it will be a draw. At least you can't lose anymore.
