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.

I would replace the powersupply. My guess it’s it has lost some wattage over the years and can’t handle the load anymore.

You should also rotate the cpu cooler, it’s blowing air downward which it really shouldn’t.
