Hi there,
Have been building PC's for quite some time now and i've got a fair old beast now, however when i power on the PC, i have to jiggle the power switch on the PSU.
Here's what happens.
PC is cold, power from the wall, switch on PSU is set to on.
1. Switch on PC from the power button on the case, PC boots but nothing on screen, keyboards don't light up but everything on the inside do not.
2. The motherboard also doesn't completely light up, there is a counter which i'm assuming is some kind of through check for the motherboard and attached components doesn't come on.
3. The PC will sit in this state forever and won't progress to windows.
*Other times i perform the same steps but instead the fan on the GPU will go to max and will stay there with the above symptoms, forcing a power off from the PSU switch and pulling the power, then allowing the systems lights to all dim out (essentially removing all power and surges from the PC)
To remedy this here's what i do.
Again PC is cold.
1. Power on the PC from the case button.
2. Quickly before it boots to what would be the bios, I switch the PSU switch off and then on again.
3. When i do this, the red light on the motherboard cycles and then the counter starts to go up.
The keyboards light up, the monitor recognises a PC is attached and the PC boots as normal and is usable for as long as I need it.
I've bought another PSU from amazon (DPD failed to try to deliver and then lied, avoid them)
This is the PSU i've got coming.

The PSU i have at the moment is the Corsair GS800 (800watt PSU)
I haven't overclocked anything at the moment, all components come back after a diagnosis as clear and i have no errors, BSOD's or anything similar.
Has anyone heard of this? Seen it or fixed this issue? I'm just a bit puzzled and if it turns out to be the motherboard i'll be gutted after buying a PSU.
Any help would be appreciated, as i'd like to put the PSU into a second PC.
Up to date specs:
Antec 900 (no extra fans, all in working order)
i5 4670K @ 3.4GHz (stock)
Z97 AsRock Extreme 4 motherboard
16GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM
EVGA GTX 1080 GPU (stock)
Corsair GS 800 PSU
