Unplugged PC to move it on top of new desk, won't turn on now

Got a new desk today, big enough to put my pc on top of it instead of on the floor. Had to unplug the PC in order to move it out of the way so I could put the desk in the right spot. I had flipped the switch of the PSU to off before unplugging it from the power strip to relocate it. I was careful to move the pc without messing anything up, and the plugged everything back in the way it was before.

Went to turn the pc on...but nothing happened. It was working perfectly fine the night before, and this was the first time I tried turning it on today.

I've tried:

  1. Unplugging the cord, letting it sit for awhile, then plugging it back in and holding the power button
  2. Leaving it alone for a couple hours.

And messing around with cords. Just stumped at this point really.

Try flipping the PSU switch a couple of times?

Like consecutively? I always flip it off before unplugging it, then flipping it back on once I plug it back in

Unplug computer , hold power button in for 10 count to Dr-energize circuits.

Open cover check internal connectors to motherboard, might be a great time to blow out dust bunnies. Check all connectors for video cards (are screws tight on backboard for video, etc.

Then reassemble and check your external connections for tightness, all of them and plug back in.
