For some reason now i have to hold my power button to my pc in order for it start up. I've had my pc for about 3 years now, and out of no where i'm getting this issue.

I've gone as far as to think it was a psu failure and bought myself a new one and still no fix. I have had surges happen to me but had surge protectors at the ready, (i still got warning of surges though through a safety feature my mother has of some sort) could my surges be the culprit

It takes 10 to 30 secs sometimes to have the system turn on, I have to keep it in sleep mode so that i don't to deal with it.

Any suggestions for a fix? Please help, i don't to have to buy a new mobo for no reason
