Try finding out what the problem is by eliminating stuff. 

Are there any lights on the motherboard on? Have you tried taking out the GPU and turning it on? (even if you don't have iGPU) have you tried a different PSU? Are all switches on and all cables inserted correctly? Does the electricity socket you use actually work? etc. etc.

I dont think there are any lights on the motherboard anyway but if there is theres none on the socket works but i cant really eliminate stuff.

Okay if you're not getting anything at all it's most likely the power supply has failed.

Yes you can, I suggested a whole bunch of stuff you can do.

Have you tried anything or are you just waiting for a wizard to magically fix it all for you?
