well I looked and everything seemed to be in order so I tried the Paper clip thing with the PSU. The first time it did not work then I tried again and it turned on and the fan spun for like 2 sec and the made a large scraping sound and stopped. What does this mean?

Exactly which fan are you talking about? a scraping sound is not normal. It indicates that the fan won't turn freely, and therefore won't be effective cooling anything.
You said you looked..But did you actually PERFORM the checks specified in the link?
