Been running for 2 months, now encountering a problem

[Rainer7]

Hey guys, I built my first computer in January and I've been pleased with it. However, something weird has been happening and it started like a week ago. Whenever I shut down, the computer is totally dead, like the power button does nothing. However, I flipped the Power Supply switch off, waited a while, and turned it back on and everything works fine.

Does anyone know what's wrong? And will this method screw I'm doing screw up my computer further?

No, flipping off the PS power switch after shutdown will not hurt anything...

Just an annoyance, and assuming the PS itself is the first likely suspect....

What are your system specs?

(Just to ensure you are not attempting to run a dual 1900XT rig with an Opty 185 and twin Raptors with a 300 watt PS, etc...!)
