Hello!
So, I recently found my old Athlon 64 PC collecting dust in my attic, and decided to power it up. To my surprise, it worked. Nostalgic boom, pretty funny that my password was inside the case, on a sticky note. I decided to screw around on it, clean it out, make it look as it did 10 years ago. A hand-me-down computer from my parents, but it was awesome. I decided to turn it off and cleaned it out some more. The bad thing is, when I turned it on, nothing would pop up. I tried testing the PSU, which is good, I reset the CMOS, unplugged everything and pressed the power button for 30 seconds, I tried everything. And then, I decided to take out the heat sink. I felt for any heat coming from it while turning it on, and nothing. No heat. I am thinking that there isn't power going to the CPU from the motherboard, but I need more help.
