possibly bad capacitors in the psu

maybe the new psu isnt powerful enouth for your computer either. Try the psu in a computer with pretty much the same specs as yours if you can. If that system doesnt power up, its the psu. If it works fine, then your motherboard will more then likely need replacing.

@Hrothgar520 the vga or dvi cabel from your monitor can give it a little bit power to spin like that

Bestec are the worst power supply's ever. E-machines use's them.

take out and reseat your CPU and RAM

have you the 4 pol cpu power ?
-
wait u unplug it and wonder why the fans still spin when u press the power button? its called residual power. every computer in the world does that to some degree.

@Hrothgar520 How is the CPU fan spinning then?
Well it would be easier to figure out if the computers was in front of me, but I have some ideas that may be relevant to the situation. The core fan may be really dusty which can make it act up like that, plus you should also try checking the power supply fan, they can burn out if you don't clean them enough and that may be your problem. I'll try to brainstorm some other ideas, so get back to me and ttyl! :o)
