Did you make sure to plug everything back in if you were poking around inside? I had the same issue with my pc when I got my new graphics card. Also, make sure that your powersupply is large enough to support everything.

Dumb question, but did you check the power switch in the back?

He said the fan was going so if the voltage was switched that wouldn't happen I think.

Did you check the voltage switch? The little red one? If that got switched and then you turned your computer on it would seriously fuck up your computer.

Most computers won't even start if that's switched.

I'm thinking more it got switched and then switched back.

Your computer will sure as hell start. Then it will send the wrong voltage to all the stuff in your computer and fry everything.

The voltage switch is on the back of the power supply, not on the CPU. You definitely have one of these.
