I don't really know where to post this but it seems that the power supply is the common suspect for this situation. It started a while ago when I put my PC to sleep and I tried to wake it up but nothing happened. I thought that it's a sleep mode and OS issue and I posted in a windows 10 thread. Here's the link:

The thing is that this is not a sleep mode issue, I tried to do a normal shutdown and start the PC again but it didn't start just like with sleep mode. I have to unplug it and wait for a while (I Don't know how long exactly I have to keep it unplugged but it's not a short period for sure) then start it again for it to work.
What I mean when I say the PC won't start is that nothing happens, the motherboard LEDs work when the PSU is switched on, but the start button on the case doesn't do anything.
Here's something that confused me yet it might help. If I start my PC (Satisfying the conditions above) and windows loads, I shut it down again. If I start it, it works, and it's the same for sleep mode. Meaning that the issue only occurs after I use the PC for a while and something heats up or gets charged.
Here's what I tried:
Unplugging everything and holding the start button to discharge.
I stressed the system using Aida64 extreme for 2 hours and the PC worked perfectly. (Using only the FPU subtest)
Almost every post I found regarding a similar issue must suspect either the PSU or the CMOS. Here are some questions;
How can I test the PSU? knowing that it's definitely not dead because it works normally when the PC starts.
Do I HAVE to remove the CMOS manually? because my motherboard has clear RTC RAM jumpers. I'm asking because my CMOS is behind the GPU and I'll have to take the GPU out first so I can access it. (My GPU is big it's kinda troublesome)
Anything else I should test/do? Any other suspects in this situation?
Here's a drive that I shared in the old thread, it has a text file containing my full config:
