My PC won’t turn on. Haven’t been able to set it up for a couple of months and so it’s been sitting off in the corner of my room. I set everything up on my desk and I pressed the power button and nothing. I double-checked that the outlet it was plugged into worked and the button on the power supply was on but still nothing. I looked a little bit into it and saw people saying it might be the CMOS battery dying so I changed that and still no dice. I was wondering if you computer wizzes had any other things to check that might be causing this. Thanks in advance.

    I guess you moved it before it was sitting in your corner? Some connection might have came lose during transport. Try re-plugging all the cables and and maybe even the other components. Though it’s probably related to power, otherwise it would likely do something. It’s possible though that it’s actually broken. Since it doesn’t power on that would either be the power supply or the mainboard most likely.
