Had this problem a while but its starting to get annoying as I'm using the desktop more.

Basically from shutdown (almost all the time) my desktop fails to boot. This rarely happens from suspend.
It will try several times and eventually (always eventually) it will succeed.

Once it has there are zero other issues.

The failing is inconsistent. Sometimes it will take 3 times, sometimes it will be first time, sometimes I will have to reset.

The only new pieces is the gpu. So I know it's not that.
I suspect it's the Psu or Mobo,could be ram?

Any ideas if it is definitely one or the other?
If the only way to confirm is new Components I'll live with it as I mostly suspend anyway.
 
Sounds like possibly PSU's capacitors going bad.
What's the particular PSU model?

And would think by now you would know to list PC's parts without asking...
