Hi Guys! My situation is as follows: My Desktop PC functioned properly for many years, now though, when I turn it on in the morning, it turns on fine, but after that, if it's turned off and on again, unless some time passes (usually 5-10-15 minutes), it just won't turn on, nothing will happen, no matter how angrily I press the power button. It's almost as though now the PSU needs some time to "recharge" to be able to turn on - should I just buy a new PSU?
Thanks in advance!



CPU:Intel Xeon CPU E5-2665 2.4ghz
Motherboard:HP Z420
Ram: 32gb
SSD/HDD: seagate
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
PSU: Sea Sonic SS-550T
OS: Win10
Age of entire system: around 6 years

EDIT: Why do I have a random picture of a woman as my avatar? I tried finding the option in the settings but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it?
 
Thanks for the replies! I’ve now tried everything such as taking the video card and ram in/out and replacing the cmos battery, now I plan on getting a new psu
Previously I had a seasonic ss550ht, those are no longer sold, if I get a Seasonic 550W S12III-550 instead will that do? Or could you recommend some other brand? Thanks in advance!
