Computer won't boot.
So my computer was working perfectly fine last time before I shut it down. The power button will sometimes (very rarely) stick. As in i push it in to turn the computer on and it stays in and shuts the computer down unless i can dig it out before the computer shuts off. Never had any problems with this before. But when I went to turn the pc on just now the button stuck, and the computer shut down. I unstuck the button and tried again. Once again the button stuck for too long and the pc shut down. Third time the button was fine. The computer powers up, but usb devices get no power and I don't get any visuals. Pretty sure it's not actually booting. Im wondering, is it normal for holding a button in like that on power up to be bad for a computer? What do you think went wrong here?

I solved the issue by resetting the cmos. Maybe its data was corrupted from restarting the computer that early in boot? Idk but everything's fine now.
