So I built this computer back in the summer of 2015, and I never had this problem, but recently, every time I turn the computer on, I have to wait through many cycles of the computer going on and off until all the components in my case turn on.
What I noticed is that when I initially turn on the computer, not all of my components are running immediately. For example, one of my fans do not turn on until about a second later, but once that second arrives, the computer shuts off immediately.
So when I turn the computer on, everything seems to be running immediately except my HDD/SSD and one of my fans. I continued monitoring and noticed that the computer does indeed shut off IMMEDIATELY after the HDD light and fan light (the one fan that doesn't turn on immediately) comes on. And it takes a while before those two lights become stable so the computer can successfully boot up.
I don't know what's causing this. My first guess would be the PSU, but 750W were more than plenty for my build. Is it dying? I've only had it for a year and a half.
