The computer start only after pressing the power button several times?
My computer will not start on the first power button press and requires multiple attempts before it finally boots up, with the fans spinning up momentarily and stopping each time. I have already checked the power supply connections and tried a different wall outlet, but the issue persists and I'm unsure if this is a failing power supply, a motherboard issue, or something related to the power switch itself.

A PSU that is beginning to fail can also cause this problem. It may not be able to provide the stable "Power Good" signal the motherboard needs to fully start up, causing the system to shut down immediately to protect itself. This is a very common failure point in aging systems.
