I tried to test it with paper clip method the fan came on so i guess psu is operable but also tried to put old psu in no luck with that either computer will not turn on regardless.
 
Solution
The problem may not be in PSU but in MB for instance. If you have a known good PSU and you are sure you connect it right, than problem lies somewhere else. Could be anything, from a really stupid one like bad Start button or it's connection. Find the place on MB where it connects to and short those 2 pins with a screwdriver.

The so called experts at Geek Squad burned my mother board when the employee was checking diffrent Psu's on my system. They screwed up by plugging a 12v current into a ground for the fan. after which the video card and ram were not recognizable and smoke was emmited from the the system i started getting a 7 tone beep when trying to power up i immediatly returned to bestbuy/GeekSquad and they sent my computer in for motherboard replacement.
