Question PC Doesn't Turn on Unless I Do Paper Clip Trick

[brownieboi]

Hello! I recently moved my pc to another place and noticed everything in my pc booted up fine except my graphics card. I think I might have pressed the power button too many times in succession and have screwed up my motherboard/psu. I moved the graphics card to a different slot, and tried booting up my pc again but nothing worked. I used the paper clip test on my PSU and the PSU turned on, so I turned the switch off on the PSU and then I plugged the 24pin connector back into the mobo and my mobo lit up(mobo has LED's on while turned off). So then I turned the PSU switch on in the back while my mobo LED was lit up, pressed the power button and then my pc worked! It runs fine and dandy. But when i shut down my PC, my mobo LED's only stay on for a short period of time, and if I don't press the power switch in that time, then I have to do the paper clip thing again.

I know my power switch on my PC is fine because I used a screwdriver to short power switch and ground to boot up my PC(doing the paper clip method).

I know its my mobo or PSU but idk which one. All my other components seem to run fine when my PC boots up.

Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600 AMD cpu
Asus TUF Gaming x570-PLUS ATX AM4 Mobo
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16gb Ram DDR4-3200
Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

"I know my power switch on my PC is fine because I used a screwdriver to short power switch and ground to boot up my PC(doing the paper clip method)" that is a symptom of bad push button Start switch, not that it's good. Connect Reset switch instead and see what happens.

I tried. Nothing happens. The mobo only boots up if I use paper clip on the PSU first and then quickly connect the 24 pin connector back into the mobo and press the power button or use the screwdriver while my mobo LED’s are lit up. I can tell when the mobo is receiving power because it always used to have its LED’s on when the computer was shut off. I think me pressing the power button on and off too many times either screwed up something in the 24 pin for the mobo or PSU. I just dont know how to figure out which one.
