My PC has died...

So, today my PC has suddenly turned off and wont turn back on. I have tried every trick. It's dead.
My educated guess it's that the motherboard had died. I'm trying to figure out if you can even get one that's compatible with the rest of my parts (this rig is fairly old). And even then, I somehow need to get money for it. If you ever felt like supporting me with a few bucks, this is the time.
So I may not be back for a bit. I'll post another journal when the situation has resolved.

There can be multiple reasons, check cabling and also, if possible, the PSU (power supply unit). If that one is old it may happen that the machine will not boot up. If you have a working spare one, you could try that. Remove all disks before, just in case.

OP
Thank you for the advice! It turned out to be the PSU, and I have just finally got a new one. :)
