Can you try with the other fans see if it happens?

no sadly I have not got the old fans anymore buts its the same cooler just different fans 

 

Try turning on the computer without a CPU cooler installed. I know many people are going to disagree with me when I say do this but it should be fine to do for only a few seconds (if the computer POSTs immediately turn it right off) . The CPU cooler could be causing a short somewhere and by removing it we are simplifying the boot process.

and now i'm even more worried as not even removing the cooler plugs does anything it still wont post!

Is a bios reset out of the question?

Make sure the thermal paste you are using is not conductive and is touching the motherboard in places it shouldn't.

Thanks everyone so much for the help but you know that feeling when you cause a comotion and its cause you forgot to put the 8 pin cpu fan plug back in *pulls gun to head* sorry guys

Maybe check the cooler itself.

It happened to me once that i bought a cheap fan and behind the plastic where the cables are going into the PCB. Some unslieved cables touched and caused a shortout.
