Was there anything preceding the issues? Anything at all you can think of?

Is it plugged into a surge protector?

You really have to get a surge protector, it’s part of the terms and conditions of your warranty.

Turn it off at the wall but DONT UNPLUG IT, that will keep it grounded.

then open it and make sure the cpu connector to the motherboard is firmly in place, remove it and reconnect it to make sure. It’s the 8 pin connector onto the motherboard in the top left of the board. It may be fiddly to reach.

Update: I got called into work got home and my brother had fixed it he said that the cable wasn't plugged into the back properly and that's why it was only turning on momentarily after he'd fixed it I tried to put the pc back straight and there was like a buzzing noise like electricity do I just need to plug it in properly or could it be an electrical issue

Ah, excellent, easy fix, really pleased!

MAKE SURE YOU DO USE A SURGE PROTECTOR, IF NOT AND YOU GET A POWERCUT OR TEMPORARY SPIKE, IT'S VERY LIKELY THE PSU/MOTHERBOARD WILL FRY AND YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE INVALID.
