you could try removing the battery no the mobo to flush any bios settings.

well, is there anything it can boot to? Tried booting to a windows or linux CD/USB?

If you aren't getting any beeps or even the bios screen, it is likely the mobo or power supply.

i've tried my PSU ( the one i'm using for my PC) it's a corsair 520HX which should be more than enough for this setup that i built but there was no fix for it even using my PSU.
