Maybe you've not plugged the motherboard in correctly or something? Or your power supply is ded

 
Take the battery out of the MB and put it back in again, should work.

(I believe the problem is that the system cant find the path of the drive you have your os on)

Check that in addition to the 24 pin ATX power connector on the mobo you have the 4-8pin EPS/CPU power connector plugged in as well - otherwise it won't power up correctly as described.

Tried that and it still didnt work.

Yep its plugged in :c

if all the power cables are in and it's still not turning on, then you either have a short, a faulty component, or the PSU is not strong enough for the machine.

Remove everything but the bare minimum. No GPU, no HDD no SSD, no CD Drive or anything. Just CPU, MOBO and PSU. Even take the ram out. If it power on then with no ram, you'll get a series of beeps to let you know it's missing - that's fine since it means all is working. Then add components one at a time and reboot. if it wont boot with even the bare essentials, you need to rebuild it and make sure you didnt miss anything. 

I.e. make sure the mobo is connected to standoffs and not just screwed into the case.

So tried what you said still no luck. I rebuilt it and it changed nothing what was weird was that the usb leds and devices connected to it light up but the pc wont actually turn on

It doesn't exactly sound encouraging. So even with barebones Motherboard, cpu, psu and a screen connected - you push the power button and nothing?

To be sure - you definitely have the front panel power switch connected up correctly?

Yep when i press power nothing happens ive checked all the cables over 3x now :c

then either:

a) Something is damaged either from a short or static discharge

b) Front Panel connectors are not wired correctly

c) Something else has been missed.

Since your USB devices are lighting up - it is getting power from the PSU, but that doesn't tell a whole lot except that hopefully the mobo isn't dead. can you take a photo of your front panel wires on the mobo?

Take a photo of the front pannel connectors plugged into mobo?

yeah, they're usually located down in the bottom right of the mobo usually like this:

you would have had to plug them in when you switched your case

This is what I meant by the leds being on for the usb ports

It's hard to see the power switch wired in in the first picture where it says + PW -
                                                                                                            -RES +

is there definitely the power connector on +PW- pins?

Mobo is deifnitely fitted on the brass standoffs on the case?

with the GPU out, can you take a photo of the phone mobo including both main power connectors from the PSU for the 24PIN and 8 pin power, and you're 100% double sure you have the CPU power plugged in to the 8 pin port up near your processor, and not just a PCI-E power pin or something?
