As neither motherboard, or PSU, are quality components, I would say either is a distinct possibility. If it is multiple beeps, it could be memory. Make sure everything is properly seated, and connected.

It's not beeping it's more like scratching I opened it up and noise isn't coming from psu it's around cpu area but idk why the monitor isn't displaying the computer

"weird noise" is not informative at all.
Explain the noise, is there also a burnt smell? Does the computer beep?, Do the fans spin? Does it power right back off or does it stay on? Do you hear the sound of windows coming online? What part inside the PC is the noise coming from?

As stated, the corsair PSUs are not that good and could easily be the problem, could be the motherboard.

Yea those low end MSI, AMD, boards had lousy power phases that tended to die quite often.

Fans still running I don't hear the sounds of Windows. Scratching sound coming by the cpu no burnt smell

Scratching would be more like the hard drive.

Try unplugging the hard drive from power (the bigger of the 2 cables) and see if anything changes.
If that was the issue it should start and give you an error message about selecting proper boot device, or no os found.

ADDED:
Remove power from the drive with the PC off, never disconnect anything with PC on

Yes boosted I unplugged Hard drive and got map:cannot find required map name popped up monitor displayed finally what do I do now buy a new hard drive?

logainofhades · May 24, 2016

Yea, it appears you need a new hard drive.

boosted1g · May 24, 2016

Yep new hard drive time.

For a boot drive for windows I highly suggest a SSD (Solid State Drive) over a hard drive, they are way way faster.
Most of us have a 120-250gb SSD for windows and programs, and then a 1tb (or larger) hard drive for large storage and/or backups.

Do I have to reinstall Windows? I don't have the disc since its 2 years old so would I need a new one?

boosted1g · May 24, 2016

A new hard drive does not just come with windows on it, so yes you would need to buy a new one.

What version of windows did you have? if you upgraded to windows 10 then you can just download the media creation tool and create a usb flash drive to install windows.

Yes you will have to reinstall Windows. You can download Windows from Microsoft's website. Make sure you download the exact same version you had. Then you can use the authorization code you previously used to activate Windows.

Commonsensebrah · May 24, 2016

I don't have the same authentication code and I didn't download Windows 10 so I guess I have to buy Windows again?

logainofhades · May 24, 2016

Whatever code you have, with the windows version you purchased, will still work. You just have to get the proper download, from Microsoft. If you have lost that code, then yes, you will need to buy windows again.

When I purchased and installed Windows 8 several years ago, Microsoft sent me the product key in an email. I printed that out and scanned it and saved it to my data drive and several other places so I could always find it if needed. That won't help you now, but in the future if you have to reinstall Windows. I have never needed to reinstall Windows. If my OS gets corrupted or HDD fails, I restore from disk images I make of the OS drive about once per month. 10 minute task.
