Please list your specs.

[Tmh85]

I tend to have that issue as well sometimes but my brothers computer is right next to mine, What specs do you have? Also are you the only person that has a computer in the same outlet?

[tobben]

try unplugging the power switch on your case and "short it out"/turn it on manually with a screw driver or something and see if it does the same, might be your power switch, other than that i guess the psu should be something you want to have a look at if the pc won't even boot up.

i edited my OP for specs

how do i short it out? 

well see my very very first boot all my fans were spinning anf my GPU leds were green and all but hasnt happened since i cleared the CMOS

so what's the current status? not even the fans spin after you cleared cmos? by "shorting out" i basicly meant turning the pc on without a power button, incase it's faulty, you know the two pins you connect the power button to? just make a bridge connecting the 2 pins with a screw driver or something along those lines, should turn the system on, seeing as you have cleared cmos i am assuming you are already aware of this, most likely your issue goes beyond that.

ok so none of my fans are spinning but leds on my GPU are lighting up as green so power is going into the PSU 

is it my motherboard then?

[needmorewood]

if the PSU fan doesnt turn on when i press the power button could it mean its my PSU?

[Tommex84]

Check if your 24pin and 8pin connectors are are plugged in all the way.

You could also take out the PSU, 'Paper-clip' it and check for voltages with multimeter.

hey with m,y parts if i take out the ram and such shouldnt i hear beeps? im not getting any beeping....

i turn on the computer and everything tuns at max fan speed but thats about it

You need to find the source of the problem. Take out your PSU and bridge the GREEN wire with any BLACK wire, on the 24 pin. Then plug the PSU into the wall and flip the switch. If the fan doesn't spin, then your PSU is the issue.

[Kierenblade]

Check that the 24-pin connector is in properly, maybe wiggle it around a bit. If you can, maybe get a 24-pin extender cable and plug into the PSU and Motherboard just to check if it's not the 24-pin cable itself that is the problem

[josh42666]

try a different psu in the house if its possible

[Tommex84]

OK this might be a dumb question but did you remove the jumper after you cleared CMOS?

 

You gotta take it step by step, first check the PSU and then move on to motherboard, CPU, etc...

About the beeping, your MOBO doesn't come with an onboard speaker so it can't beep.

Propably was just loose connection somewhere then.

yea maybe.

is it possible to shirt the motherboard if the screws are too tight? if thats possible then it mightve been that

No. You can crack PCB by using really extensive force but those screw holes have few mm safe zone around then to prevent short circuiting.
