So my pc has a problem for 4 years now. I took it to the store but they couldnt solve it. So i will try my luck here.

So the problem is that when i open my PC after a while it crashes and restarts. After the restart it will never crash again. Well its annoying but it isnt a huge problem for me because i dont close my PC almost ever. What do you guys think its the problem?
 
Solution
Sounds like a faulty capacitor, first start doesn't get properly charged leading eventually to the crash, next time it gets fully charged thus keeping the system stable, it could be a capacitor in the PSU or in the mobo, if it's in the mobo it's not really an issue in the sense that will cause any harm (though it's possible some data loss in the HDD during that first crash), if it's the PSU however it's a signal of a low quality one and should be replaced to prevent any major failure in the long run.
