Hey, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this question..but it seemed like it to me.

Anyway, I've got this computer that I don't use that much. Over the past two years, I have probably only turned it on and off 10 to 15 times. Recently, I tried to turn it on again and it wouldn't start. Does the computer's power supply go bad after the computer isn't used for so long? If so, would I likely be able to find a new power supply somewhere like best buy or Walmart?

Oh, I also noticed my CMOS battery was starting to go bad since my computer wasn't keeping an accurate date or time. (I got this machine back in '02, so thats why it was probably starting to die), would that have anything to do with this problem?
 
When you say that you've turned it on and off 10-15 times, are you just hitting the power button, or actually shutting it down properly? If you are just turning it off, you could be damaging your hard drive! Do you see anything when you turn the computer on? Yeah, you can get a power supply for your machine, but I would make sure that's your problem first.
