I fully disconnect the power cord and the PC, then wait a short time. It takes two tries to start up. If you wait slightly less, it boots on the first try but needs a few seconds for the light to appear. When you shut it down, don’t move anything, wait a moment, then press the power button—it works normally. So far everything has functioned without problems. There have been instances where the PC remained on for two weeks without any issues. I’m curious about the reason behind this behavior.

The power button could be unresponsive.
