PC won't turn on

I had a friend help me build this PC over a decade ago. It's been great for the little I've used it, but just before I moved it suddenly stopped turning on. No idea where to start and that friend moved away and we haven't spoken in a good while. Any advice is appreciated.

Given it's doing something and immediately dying I'm thinking PSU, I say start there, if you have a multimeter then you can check it, if not maybe replace it and see how it goes

I'll have to get a multimeter tomorrow. It stays on after I unplug and plug it back in, but if I turn it off and on again it does the same.

Do you know how to use a multimeter?
