PSU Works at shop but not at my house. -__-

My money is on a short somewhere. As suggested above take everything out of the case and build it on the table to see if it powers up.

There's only one possible solution here.

You will have to move to the shop and live there.

Sorry for repeated posts, on the PS3.

Rebuilt everything, same problem. New motherboard? I want the cheapest one that does what my current does

Sounds more like the mobo is on its way out, my old rig (Q6600) used to do the same, black screen on boot only way around it was hard shut down.
Eventually the mobo died an never worked again

Thing is my MoBos only a year old, if that, also, the PC kept blue screening 5 minutes from the PC being turned on and it finally had its last blue screen. Tbh i was thinking of selling the pc this time around when i fix it as I have to keep replacing parts

Still under warranty then? RMA it.

7GB of ram seems a very odd amount? Have you tried just one stick.

Yupp tried one stick, same thing

Have you checked the USB ports?

See it many times that a broke USB port will stop a system from powering on.

How many amps are on the 12v rail of that so called 450w psu? Sumvision is a extremely poor make.

Do you have the 24 pin and 4/8 pin leads both plugged in? Is the 24 pin all the way in?

You keep replacing parts to fix it, what the?
Cheap poor PSU likely isn't doing you any favours either.

?? I just went out and brought a corsair cx500, installed it and the PC wont turn on, thought the PSU was dead went back to the store and they tested it with a voltage reader & plugged it into a MoBo

It most likely is your motherboard causing the problem. You really need to take your system there so they can check each component.

That's the first mention of a Corsair PSU in this whole thread.
Your sig says Summy.

Where'd you bring the PSU anyway?

ByMRK1 · 20 Aug 2012 at 19:33

I can't really do that, The system is like 10KG+, I'm 15, Live in east london and have to travel to central london to get to the shop

I had a problem recently where I could not switch on my pc so thought it was the psu.

Disconnected all but the motherboard supply and supply for the cpu (disconnected all drives, removed all ram and disconnected gfx) and it switched on.
Reconnected drives and added ram, still worked.
Reconnected my gfx card and nothing, so my gfx card is now away being repaired.

I did buy a psu tester but you don't need that as the shop has proved that is not the problem.
