That amber light only confirms the board is receiving 5V power. It needs a 12V rail to start up. Usually a solid amber light means a bad power supply. The other possibility is that the mainboard is bad -- and given the age of the system, if you plan a repair, it may be wise to replace both the power supply and the mainboard together, since they're the same age.
The psu is now on d cpu fan is spinning at different (slow and fast) speed rates d psu rear green light is on but still nothing happens i think maybe it is the cmos battery or what?
No, the CMOS battery won't cause that. Of the two likely faulty components - the power supply and the mainboard, as above: replace the power supply first.

Unplug the system and hold the power button for 30 sec. Remove and reinstall the memory module(s). Try powering up again.
If the system still won't power up, start by replacing the power supply -- which is the likely faulty part.

Since you haven't read what I've posted so far, it likely won't help -- but a failed power supply is the prime suspect.
Replace the power supply.
If that doesn't solve the issue, the mainboard is next. One of the two is the cause.
