Is it even turning on?
Is it a tower or laptop?
Are there any lights on the motherboard or CD rom/panels anywhere?
(Is the power supply unit even switched on in the back?)
Is the power supply unity cable securely plugged into the motherboard?

UGH!!
Borrowed some 'proper' screwdrivers. Since using a table knife to undo them, horrified my mother !!
Took the casing off.
Vacuumed the inside as best i could.
Pushed as many plugs as i could see to make sure they connected.
Shocked myself !! Swore ! Turned off power !!!
Put the casing back on and did it up.
Powered it back up.
Fan ran very fast for about 20 seconds then died !
Loud 'PING' noise and the volume was back !

Which fan? Case fan or CPU fan? CPU fan is the one attached to the motherboard.
The case fans are significantly less important; and also are not necessarily always on.

turn power off
open the case
unplug the mini=plugs on the board here and there
and all over
but one at a time
and then plug them again
if that doesn't help
hit the pc with your 6 inch stiletto heel
