When I push the power button on my PC, it starts to power on, then stops. If I keep pressing, it tends to work eventually. What could be wrong?

    either the power button is damaged or there is a problem with the PSU.

    It could be the outcome of at least three causes:

    1. The Power switch contacts are bad, and need to be replaced.

    2. The Power supply have a problem.

    3. There is a delay somewhere, so you will need to press the power switch continuously, until the computer will go working normally.

    4. If nothing helps, take it to the maintenance lab.
