I've put up with this problem since early 2006 believe it or not but it seems now its gotten worse and doesn't only happen on cold boots but even when its had power for sometime, it used to be once a day when i first powered it straight up, unless i left the power to the wall socket on for 10 to 30 minutes (pc not actually being switched on at this point), i have a feeling its the capacitors somewhere as this would explain why that worked but its gotten worse now so im wondering what i should do? :(

I was thinking of getting a psu but i don't know whats best and if im to get one i need it to be future proof for next year when i get a new high end system.
 
Oh yeah forgot some specs, the psu is an antec neo power 480w v2.0, motherboard is a8v deluxe, i think those are the main suspects, everything else is decent quality stuff for the time, which was bought around early 2005, i don't overclock and don't have a lot of stuff using power so i believe it may be the capacitors or something else power related, system runs good all around apart from that, would appreciate any help, thanks! :)
