The missing part in your story: how could you install Windows Vista in a PC that doesn't power on?

Anyway, it might be time to replace either the PSU or the motherboard.

The hard drive was installed then windows vista was put on and every thing seemed to be working great. Used the computer for about 3 or 4 hours after that. Then I shut it down for the night and then in the morning when I tried to power up that is when there was nothing. No light nothing.
