Hello Micky, :)

You might double check to make sure the motherboard is not getting grounded out by making direct contact to the metal case or tray under it.

In addition, double check all cables and cards to make sure they are correctly and tightly connected.

If you haven't already, strip it down to start over with bare minimums to see if it may post afterwards.

If so, test to see if it will continue to post after adding each item to see if a cause may be determined.

What is the model number of the new case?

We can see if anyone else using that case is having similar issues.

Does the motherboard itself have its own power button to press to power up?

Any error codes or beeps from the motherboard when trying to power up?

No it diesnt and there`s no sounds or nothing the only sign of life is a little ligh on the graphics card but that always stays on even when the PC itself is powered down other than that its a giant paperweight at the moment

Just to rule out the hardware, does it still power up when back in the old case?

I'm pretty much out of ideas as well other than taking it to a computer shop to let them bench test it to see what's wrong with it. :(
