Weird problem, about a few months ago I realized that my pc wouldn't boot, so I flipped the on/off button and then the light inside lit up and I was able to boot. Ever since then, when I shut down the computer I have to flip the on off switch in order for it to boot up the next time. Everything else works fine, no problem whatsoever. I have no clue why this happened and I'm tired of bending down lol. Thanks for the help!

I'd try resetting the BIOS and checking the power block

If clearing the CMOS in the BIOS does not resolve the issue, post the hardware specs for the computer with your next reply, System Model MS-7522 suggests that it may be a desktop, if it is be sure to include the PSU details with your update  :thumbsup:

Where is the on/off switch you are talking about? Is it the computer power button or are you talking about a on/off switch on the power s7upply at the rear of the computer? If it's on the power supply, replace it.
