hey got an issue, not particularly adept at pcs but ill post what tests ive tried to run

tried to install a wd500gb slave hd yesterday
booted up fine and then about to format at disk management (/w Win7)
as soon as i clicked 'ok' to begin formatting, pc shuts down

i got kind of worried at this stage so i ran a series of tests
computer
can turn on but turns off after 6-7s and no display
the next morning, the computer remains turned on but no display
so i guess the psu is fine, or it is really weak

after i thought maybe my old hd was fried so i plugged the new hd as master drive but same result

i did notice the fan on top of the mobo heatsink was running slow, if not, not running at all so maybe the mobo might be fried?

thanks for your input!
i appreciate it

p.s. i want to add that i tried running without any hd plugged in and same result occured (pc turns on but no display)
 
Cpu could be burned out im guessing due to you saying about the fan.. Could be a bad card/Board, Try the elimination process.

barebone your pc, try 1 stick of ram at a time, in both slots etc. If this doesn't work test your hardware in a test rig or test a new cpu/board in yours.
