Turn the power on.

If you have an overclock, prepare to erase it by bridging the CMOS pins for 3 seconds.

It probably be better idea to listen to the other people because I'm not amazing but have you tried opening it and clearing it up? I assume a large amount of dust has built up with 1 month of inactivity, I had to clean my PC after a week in spain

i think it still would turn on

Does it post? If so, then it might just be an issue with the display being off/disconnected/whatever.

The problem has been solved. Thanks you guys. I've cleaned the PC ( I don't think it's the problem - but the PC is clean) . I unplug the power cable, leave it there for like 30 minutes and plug it in. And it's worked (don't know how) but it's worked.

most likely there was a power outage and/or spike and the power supply "froze"
