Doesn't look good so far.

plug in the PWR switch and put the rest of the RAM in..take a case fan..place it on the cooler fan..plug it into the cpu header..start the system..just till you see the fan spin longer than it did before..

Your best effort is the easiest thing to give to someone else..

Well we need to see if your CPU is dead or the MB is dead..and that is not an easy thing to do without a spare CPU or MB...

That's not the reason at all. Computers can turn on and POST without a storage drive connected.

i think it might be my PSU that's dead because i just tried to turn my sisters computer on with my PSU and it made the same kind of like a Tick noise.

Okay. Try putting your PSU into your sister's computer, and see if her computer turns on.

this is really weird though.... my power supply on my computer doesn't work, my sister's power supply on my computer doesn't work, my power supply on her computer doesn't work, but her power supply on her computer works.. so theoretically speaking shouldn't her power supply work on my computer?
