Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer.– Community BotCommented Nov 22, 2023 at 21:48

something important may have died (if there's really absolutely no signs of life, it's most likely the motherboard) - however: disconnect everything unimportant (hard drives etc), remove and re-attach power cables to the motherboard. Remove and reseat RAM, and if you can, remove and reseat CPU (you may want thermal paste on hand, after 6 years you'll need to clean and re-apply thermal paste). Then try again. All you want attached is power to the motherboard, RAM, CPU, Graphics card if your CPU doesn't include integrated graphics– Jaromanda XCommented Nov 22, 2023 at 23:26

^^^ if it powers on, then re-attach things one by one (with the power off of course) powering on after each new device is attached– Jaromanda XCommented Nov 22, 2023 at 23:27

Hey, so I just woke up and read these. As sort of a cope, I pressed the power button and it turned on. What in tarnation could have been causing it to stay powered off for 4 days?– Pixelated LaggCommented Nov 23, 2023 at 13:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
