Hi - is my mobo dying? My computer hangs at mobo splash on startup... UNLESS I pull the power chord and plug it in again. Then it boots!

I've tried reconnecting various components, but nothing gets the computer to get past the mobo splash screen. Only way is to pull the power chord. Do you think this is evidence of mobo dying? It's a 6 year old ABIT ip35 pro. Only other evidence to mobo death is a few blue screens, and those only occurred when shutting down google chrome (very specific occurrence)...

Thanks for advice.

Unfortunately not. Although I installed a new operating system... It's booting up every time. I'm still skeptical though
