This is a new computer that my friend recently made for me, it has worked fine until just recently, where the mouse/keyboard won't light up (i assume there is no power) and the monitor says 'dvi no signal'.
Also, I can't force it to turn off through the power button, it will only shut down if plugged out or by turning the switch off.
Before this happened the computer was working fine, and after i came back home from work this happened.
I'm not experienced with computers, at all.
My friend asked me to reset cmos or something by covering 2 pins with a bit of plastic and then re-covering the original two pins that the piece of plastic was on. I can say for sure I did this step correctly.
This problem has occurred once before, but a quick power off and on solved it, I didn't think much of it.
Help would be appreciated.

I have looked through the forums before, but could not find a suitable solution/did not know how to follow the steps.
