try removing the battery out of the mother board, maybe replacing it, and restart

When you press the power, are all the fans coming on/ staying on? Is there any lights on the motherboard?

Have you tried a different monitor? Can you test the current monitor on a working PC?

finally got the boot disk to run no idea how, fixed corrupted files, win everything was still there. Just had to disable diskette drive in bios(apparently it resets when you replace the battery in the motherboard) all good now, thanks for the ideas
