if you have a multi-meter,or a power supply tester.checking the power supply would be the first thing id do.

I tried to change the power supply rather that test it and the cpu fan sped up but the ticking continued and no bios read out at all or beeps.

if it wont show anything on the screen,or any beeps.most likely a bad motherboard,or dead cpu.
