Did you check if the wire came lose from the mother board?
 
If your power supply fan isn't working, then turn off your computer immediately and buy a new PSU. If your CPU fan isn't working, then you can probably still use it for light tasks. Get a replacement fan as soon as possible. If a case fan has died, order a replacement and open your case for better airflow in the meantime.
 
How do i know if my power supply fan is not working? I know that heat is slowly flowing out of the case , but thats about it.
 
Fans die. Especially case fans. My exhaust fan died a few months ago and I had no idea, until the day my computer kept shutting down during games because of overheating.

Easiest way to check if a fan is dead is to, obviously, look at it when it's on. I'm guessing your case fan is dead - find out the size, head to Newegg.com or your case manufacturer's website, and get a new one that fits. Installation is relatively simple and you'll be up in no time.
 
I got a lot of fans (pun? ). One for both of my Hardrive, one for CPU, two for PSU, two for Videocard, one for the mobo, and one for my ram. Yet I have never checked whether they are still running or not since I installed em.
 
Ok I got my new psu a forton. Now my computer turns on, but the fan wont.. also if I like plug in like the floppy power my whole computer wont turn on.

what fan are you speaking of
 
[quote name='assassinX']The Power Supply Fan. It like wont spin.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like you have a defective power supply.
 
If the powersupply fan does not kick over, then your motherboard is toast, memory is bad or cpu is fried. Get a freind to test each component for you on thier system and narrow down the issue.
