Ok when I hit the button to turn it on it turns orage and the CPU fan spins really slow for a half a second then stops. all the plugs are in right but it just doesn't go on.

PLEASE HELP
 
Are you trying to go for the most topics made in under 1 day award?
I swear, everytime I go I see a new annoying topic of yours with PLEASE HELP plastered all over it.

Anyway, it's probably from all that overclocking you did.
Pushing it too hard.
Could've juiced something too much.
May need to reset the CMOS.

Oh, and uhm.
Give us details?
Pictures?
Specs?
It's kind of hard to go on what you said.
 
There are a whole range of things that could have caused that. It might be a fault essential component like the CPU, graphics card or RAM, or your PSU is busted, it pretty hard to tell from what you have told us.
 
Don't forget to read his other threads.
How he was pushing his 3.33 over 4.5ghz.
May have messed with the voltage, etc...
Read his previous posts to gather some info on his tendancies :p
 
NO the power problem is on my brothers computer not mine.The one I just built its still running fine at 4.5GHZ at 105F
 
So you claim -.-
what a coincidence :s
So, what are the exact specs on this one then?
Since we have nothing to go on.
 
its an gateway from 2001 with a pentium 4 2.8 GHZ 512 ram 160 HARD DRIVE.

There is a test button on the powersupply and I push it and the cmoputer goes on but the botton in the front of the computer doesn't turn on the power supply.

Click to expand...

I guess you just solved your own problem then?
 
the button on the front of the case may have finally seen its end
make sure none of the cables inside had come undone
 
?

Make sure the Power Supply is cleanED !! and if it dont work after that your psu is going bad. you might need a new one.
 
Do you have a replacement PSU you can try? If your fans are spinning up for a few seconds, I can't see it being the power button at fault. You can always use a screwdriver or other metal object to short the two pins on the motherboard where the power switch plugs in, if you want to completely eliminate that as a possibility.
