I had an old comp, and decided to lay it out on a table and just keep it there.

anyways, it wont start... i've plugged everything back in that needs to be in, any tips?

Is the motherboard just sitting there on the table...it's not mounted or anything?

yes, just on a table

It wouldn't take much to damage a motherboard if it's just sitting out there like that. Honestly, a cat could have brushed past it and produced enough static to ruin things. Maybe the board or some components shorted to ground somehow.

Technichally that is possible, but not likely.
Wooden table, right?

First thing I do when a system fails to POST is clear the CMOS.

How about some system details?
