So finally collected together some cash to build a new system, and after putting together the entire rig I found the screen is not receiving any image or errors, and there is no sound coming from the PC speaker either.
I have tried putting it back to the basics, just Motherboard + 1 stick of ram + graphics card, and still no picture or error message.
PSU fan graphics card fans and all case fans work. even tried removing it from the case and starting it with a screw driver in-case it was a short in the case stopping me. I really have no idea what is wrong with it. will admit this is the first computer I have built from all the base components.
