who can work out this problem?????

Work from the bottom up, barebones, the system will (should at least into bios) boot with the core components, if problems are still present it's isolated to one of those things (testing outside the case is something to test for still).

For CPU cleaning, outside of just buying some isopropyl alcohol, i'd suggest (because it will last your years anyway), some Arctic Silver ArctiClean (kit of two bottles, it's affordable enough). Think i've gone through 2 kits in many years and it does a cracking job for CPU cleaning (i'm not being sponsored), though i'ved used it on GPU cores and other things to.
 
Unplug the front header pins.. and see if it starts up from the motherboard start button.
Could be an isssue with the Front panel, or a bios setting

well finally got my lazy ass in gear and took CPU out and had a good look at it, no bent pins but there was a small amount of thermal paste on 2 of the pins one of them had quite a lot on it, so I cleaned it up popped it back in the motherboard and what do you know it boots up straight away again now and works perfectly.
mystery solved lol

I didn't think that would be the solution, unless clearing cmos or something fixed it by proxy. I'll have to note this one down as a weird solution to an uncommon problem.
