Hello everyone !
I really need the help of everyone regarding my problem regarding my pc.

Problem: I always turn my power supply off after using it but a week ago there is an issue that slowly becomes evident in my pc, When I turn on my power supply, whenever I press the power button it doesn't turn on. The Light on my motherboard is also lit up green indicating that it has power.
After observing/waiting for 20mins-30 mins I pushed the power button, and it turned on.
Just to check if the problem still persist,
*I tried to reseat the cmos battery
*Tested the power supply if its faulty. used a paper clip as a jumper to test if the power runs in it.

After a quick trouble-shooting, I repeated all the steps and the problem still exist.
the process gave me a temporary 20-30mins wait time to actually turn my pc on again.
Does anyone experience this type of problem ? Let me know, I appreciate all the answers that I can get regarding this issue Thanks. :)

PC SPECS:
cpu: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700(2.66GHz)
motherboard: Intel S3210SH Socket LGA775
memory: 4x2gb= 8gb DDR2 800mhz
gpu: Nvidia GeForce GT 630 Ddr3 1GB
psu: Antec 550 watts
hdd: Hitachi Hdp725050GLA360
ssd: Kingston A400 120gb
 
Solution
Pretty typical behavior for a faulty electrolytic capacitor somewhere, more likely in PSU than on MB. That clip test proves only that fan is working but there's much more to it.


Thanks I'll have it fully checked/diagnosed by a technician.
