Ill check CMOS first, then PSU. Nothing was touched, no problems. Its a fairly new system with 2 graphics card, FX55, etc so nothing should be bad.

It was a bad PSU<br />
I followed both nobus and rindi advice<br />
first checked CMOS<br />
Then unplugged one by one. It did boot up, but nothing was plugged in. Swapped it out with a 350watt PSU. I have to take out a few HDDs that I got spare external cases for since im running<br />
2 Nvidia cards<br />
FX55<br />
DFI Nforce 4 mobo<br />
2DVD burners<br />
1 CD burner<br />
and 5 harddrives<br />

PC wont even turn on

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
