Your being very vague.

First off all lets start with what are the components of your build? ... It could be a unseen compatability issue.

Secondly when you say tried all that what exactly happened when you tried all that.

Do the fans start spinning? Does the computer make any sound what so ever. Have you tried a different PSU? Are there any risky (Second hand/old) Components your using?

Can you get into the BIOS? If so, set the BIOS to the default settings, save, and try to reboot the computer.

If you can't get into the BIOS, try clearing the CMOS by taking out the computer battery and/or using the jumpers to clear the RTC.
