Hi Kanzi,
I suggest to try the following

1) unplug everything from the mobo and leave only the CPU and RAM (unplug any PCI card, PCI-X card, SATA cables, Floppy cable, IDE cable, make sure no USB device is plugged)

2) Turn on the PC.
If there is POST, RESET the PC a couple of (use the RESET button, do not turn it OFF and ON), if continue posting, try to turn it off and after 2 minutes on again. This is to make sure is not PSU related.

If there is NO POST, make sure the PSU is firmly connected. Still no POST, change the PSU, still no luck, swap the RAM and lastly the CPU. Still no POST? You have a dead MoBo.

Remember, turning on the PC and seeing the fans work, doen's mean the PSU is OK.

If i persists after all the above is done (which I don't think it will) then try a PCI/PCI-X screen card.

I think the drive home caused the loose connection to move a bit making it work.

theres no signs of dammaged wires or anything

i removed all wires except except the "CPU" ( wat is that? ) and when i remove the ram, it makes an awful noise ( Beeeepppp ) and nothing still appear on the screen

The CPU is the thing that has a fan on metal fins on the motherboard, take the fan off, then the metal fins (heatsink), then shift the lever over and remove the CPU, blow all the dust out and refit. Make sure the CPU and RAM are securely in and try again.

He already changed the outlet he uses for the comp, what else could he try? lol
From what he explained this all started after a virus scan, if that is the case I don't understand how replacing hardware would do anything aside from swapping the HDD and re-loading Windows.

for abt a week, it went fine ( opening everytime ) but then once in a time, it would do the same problem ( nothing showing on screen, screen turning on when power was on, then screen turning off ( as if power was turned back off ) )

i buypassed that by rebooting and sometimes switching the plugs on the wall.. but lately, it began to work less and less.. and now, it never works .. same problem as b4..

any ideas?

Try what Fearless Fourie ask. It could be the problem but one thing that is questionable is this all started when you ran an anti virus scan and then removed a virus. It appears there may be a connection between the removal of the virus and your problem. Sometimes when a certain type of virus is removed if it was a virus it could have attached itself to a file and the antivirus removal also removed the file.
