About a month ago pc was working fine when one day it started doing this
I've troubleshooted it to the point where I know my mobo is at fault. But interesting thing is that it resolves on its own if I just leave it or I reset bios by removing the cmos battery but this doesn't work always. Used it for a month with this problem recurring occasionally. Today I've had a power cut and removing the battery didn't work for me so I just left my pc aside. Mobo is z97 asrock

Yea, from what you're telling - your mobo seems defect, at least partially. If that mobo is from say 2014 - then I'll say the motherboard ave lived it's expected lifetime.
But if that's the case, it shouldn't work after I reset bios right. And when it does power on I have had no trouble with playing AAA games on it. It's only "Not powering ON" that bugs me
