After I shutdown, my desktop won't power back on until some time has gone by.

When I push the power button to my desktop, and I see the lights on my keyboard light up, it starts up and runs normal while on, but if I shut down, then push the power button to start back up, it won't power on until some time has gone by. It's been doing this for a couple of months. At first it would power back on after 5 minutes. Then it would take 10 or 15 minutes. Now it won't power back on for 1 or 2 hours. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

A couple of questions:

Will it do a restart?

Will it boot up right away if you do a FULL shutdown (hold down the shift key when you hit shutdown)?

Yes, I know it will restart. I haven't tried a full shutdown, and I'm afraid to try it right now, for fear it won't come back on for a couple of hours. I'm needing it for work.
