So my computer has decided that it no longer wants to be my workhorse. It has become self-aware and after a long day of working it will sleep for hours or days at a time. He takes up space on my desk and in exchange for letting him live there I demand that he gets up at works when I tell him to. Lately though, he's making his own hours, he's pulling the old "yeah yeah I'll do it later" but then refuses to turn on even late into the night. The thing is, when I get him working he won't stop, he's a very hard worker and I hate to see him go down this slippery path. He can work for months and months on end, but once the poor guy gets to sleep, he's out. Could anyone help me figure out how to restore my steed to his former glory?

Didn't want to write "My computer won't turn on" as my title and it ended up turning into whatever that was ^
Anyways, normal people translation time.
My computer won't turn on. Right now. It could turn on in 4 hours, 8 hours, it could turn on tomorrow, but I'll never know when until I press the button. I've removed all USB connections and other related perhiperals just in case it was something odd like that. The thing is, once the computer is running, I could run it for 2 months straight and it wouldn't have any issues until eventually windows forces me to update the computer and shuts it down automatically, at which point my computer flat out refuses to start for an unspecified amount of time. I usually let it sit unplugged with the switch off when it does this. It always starts up again though, it just takes way longer than I'd desire. I don't want to wait 2 days for my computer to boot so I can browse my I internet (On my phone right now so sorry if everything I'm saying is a little oddly compiled, looks like one big text message to me.) and ideally I'd like to fix this myself. The last time this happened I recall pulling my GPU and not having it solve the issue, as well as changing and removing RAM sticks. My motherboard lights up though so, that's nice I guess? Telling me 5w of power might be lying around somewhere or something. Anyone that helps me out with this somewhat odd issue will be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot for your time!
Also, heres my build:

Also, just remembering now, when it turns on sometimes it powers up like a regular working computer would, and other times the lights flash and the fans spin slowly then faster then faster until the fans go full speed and then the light strips stop flickering and run normally. I call it the 30 second ramp up.
