Failure At Start

Each morning my Win 8.1 PC will not start. It appears to go through the motions, judging by the screen flashes I see, then sits idle.
The only way I can then get it started is to press the reset button on the tower. The PC then starts up albeit quite slowly.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Graeme.

Hi,
I watch the screen as it is trying to start up and I see flashing glimpses of the various steps that I have seen during normal startup, but these are gone "in the blink of a eye".
The screen then goes black and nothing more happens.
Sometimes I have given it up to 10 minutes and still no progress.
It is then that I can get startup by pushing the reset button.
I am 76 and somewhat new to computing and do appreciate your interest.
Regards,
Graeme.
