Generally a complete dismantling and rebuild would be called for. Only takes one short to prevent a start.

Also breadboarding with only the necessary components connected. CPU/(GPU)/Motherboard/Ram and a CPU cooler with the PSU and only the necessary cables installed. Then you start adding in other components. When it stops working, you know what the culprit was, or you just complete the build at that point.

Could be as simple as the power button on the case broke, jump the pins out on the MB or hook the reset switch to the MB power switch pins.

I'll try breadboarding it when I get my mobo tomorrow and report from there I'm just scared that either my cpu or ram broke somehow
