Hi,
This is strange, my guess would be there is something in the psu that don't like the power being disconnected maybe from unpluging all those times. Weather this means that the psu is going to fail or not I don't know but would guess again that one of these times it is not going to turn on at all.
Psu's do have something in them that resets but this usually occurs when it get hot for some reason (usually bad) you then have to let it cool and unplug it and plug it in again to make it work (reset). But this is just the opposite of your problem though.
If you have a good surge protecter you should not have to unplug it.

to add to dobys info... you may be looking at something as daft as a dry solder joint within the psu...either on the board (capacitor etc ) or the actual socket fitting theat your power lead goes to...they are awful to get into and remember if it is a capacitor thats faulty you maybe able to get it fixed but take care cos they hold a lot of charge (as i found out fixing a tv the other day ouch lol) the best idea is to take it to reputable firm (thats cheap) to test the psu
hope this helps
