Now you're learning.

I don't believe that. It's very, very rare for the CPU itself to die. In fact I've only seen it once in my years working a help desk and even then the behavior was different.
If it didn't power on when you jumped the pins manually then there are 4 likely things that are wrong here from my experience:
- The wrong pins were jumped so it didn't turn on
- PSU has died or is in some way unable to provide enough power
- The motherboard has died
- The fan on the CPU has died. Common, would not prevent PC from booting.
You guyz would say I've wasted your time on this forum!! But thanks again I would probably look at this pc again when I'm not busy or so

Is it just me, or did that post not make sense?
Except when the CPU burned up.
Thanks for the reminder! I need to do that.(people really need to learn to blow out their computers every now and then)
True, but I don't know of a modern processor now that doesn't shut itself off when it gets too hot because of a failed fan or heatsink. Not to say it's impossible, but with all the failed heatsinks I saw at the shop (people really need to learn to blow out their computers every now and then) never once did a CPU fry.
