I am new to this site, so I am sorry if I don't make much sense. I've had this old pc for about 5 years. It's not my main pc, but I want it to experiment with different programs and OSs. I plugged in the old pc, but only the red light on the front turns on. Nothing appears on the monitor. The power supply runs fine. The hard drive was making a clicking noise. I opened the slide on the side and saw there is a red light turned on. I disconnected the hard drive. I read the problem might be with the CMOS, so I took out the battery and made sure the power supply was properly connected to the mobo.
Now I'm out of ideas. 
I hope this was enough info for my problem.
Please mind
