Ok pal, if you have tried the ram and applied new paste (did you get a better cooler?)

Have you overclocked it in any whaY or added any new bits that may require more juice?
If so then I would go for a better PSU but make sure you get a decent modle as a shite one could ~~~~ everything up.

I'd get one of these as they are stable as you like

ELT500AWT-ECO - 500W Enermax LibertyECO PSU, 86% Efficiency, 2x PCI-E 6+2P, 5xSATA, 2x12V 38A, PeakPower 550W - Scan.co.uk

thats what I have

cheers

It could be that your Pram battery is empty, then there can be a lot of problems.

On your motherboard, remove the battery and change it for a new one.

Try to find the red button to make a reset with a paper clip before replacing it.

I hope you can find the problem, sometimes the solution is in front of you.

Can you list all the hardware in the machine please and the psu

[aftermath]

the heat damage might already goosed your CPU, so no matter how much paste you put on or what fan you use , it wont bring it back to life.

Have your motherboard checked out.

make sure all boards are securely in their slots.

Check all fans are working ( even in your power supply ),

memory or video faults should beep when there is an error.
