[SOLVED] HELP!!! Old Athlon 64 Board isnt turning on but has power

[TotalNerd]

Hello, world! I got an old Athlon 64 PC from one of my cousins, and I've been trying to get it to actually "work". I've gotten the PC to turn on and post once, but now it's being very picky whether it wants to or not. Once i got it to post once, it doesn't wanna turn on. I tried pretty much everything I could, like reseating ram cpu, and taking out ram, etc. I even tried multiple power supplies, and it still doesn't want to budge. The green light is one, so it's getting power, but won't actually power on. The motherboard is an Abit KV-80. I haven't put a heatsink on, so that could be an issue possibly? No, it isn't the power button, because I've tried "jumping" the headers for the power button, and still not powering on. Anything I should try or check?

Here's an image of the whole thing:

It could very easily be overheating and shutting down.
Yes, they do get that hot, that quickly.

It was sure hot when just posting tho, maybe it got too hot and killed it?? idk, i'd be surprised, even for that cpu tbh.

Probably not "killed it". Just shuts down to keep itself from dying.

Is there a way to get out of that "mode"? Is there anything I can do? I did use onboard video, and after running for a minute, screen colors glitched a bit, so cpu might have started failing. Idk for sure, but I might be able to get a replacement for 15 bucks on ebay.

Put a heatsink on it.
There is no workaround for that.

I figured, I should be getting my thermal paste today, so I can try the heatsink i got with it. I hope that is all.
