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.

Er juuust in case did ya flip the switch on the back of the power supply? Sure it's obvious but I have forgotten this before and freaked tf out before i remembered and i build computers as a hobby

Yeah I started pysching myself out and couldn't remember which one was on lol, so I tried it both ways several different times and at different outlets.
