Straight off the bat i would say a Power Supply Issue, More than likely Blown.

You can try this!

Open the Side of the Case and look at the CPU Fan (its a large Heatsink with a Fan attached to it about 2/3rds of the way up the case). Check if this attempts to spin up when you power the PC on. Also listen for the fan in the power supply (top right).

If you get a quick Spin for a second or so, or if you get nothing at all i would say its your Power Supply is gone. You could replace this yourself if you feel confident, only a matter of taking note of cables etc or take it somewhere. I would recommend 500watt or higher to be safe.

Average £ for a PSU is ~£25 expect to pay £40ish for it supplied and fitted.
