Question Have to hit power button multiple times to turn computer on, tried to swap switches

[arvinciu86]

I'm don't know much about this, so I'll explain in detail as i can.
My computer:
Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-z77m-d3h
CPU: I7-3770 @3.4Ghz
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: 8GB LONGDIMM DDR3
PSU: Enlight 450 Watts

So, the problem is every time i want to turn on my computer i must hit the power button many many times. It's getting worse every day, from only need to push around 5 times now it more than 15 times maybe. And when the computer turned on, my bios setting always reset and need to set it again. (I tried to swap switches (reset and power) and still need to hit the button many times)

Does anyone know what's the solution is?

PSU: (I still don't know the brand name, will check it later but I'm sure it 450 watts)

Post the make and model when you find out.

Replace the CMOS battery, as it's likely dead.

That thing is junk and shouldn't be in your PC. Plus, it only has a 1 year warranty - that's bloody terrible!

I suggest not attempting to power the PC on anymore until you can replace that with something decent.
Continuing to do so could lead to a spark and hardware damage.

Can you tell me what minimum requirement to buy psu for my pc? Like how many watts minimum?
