Hey guys! Like 8 month ago I bought new Pc spent agood amount of money on this one basically this problem started like 4-3 days ago I started to notice that when I'm pressing on the power button to turn my Pc on, It has like 5-7 sec' delay, afterwards its all going alright.. wanted to know if there is a reason to worry about it? and if it does how should I fix this problem it never happened to me before and I'm not sure what causing that problem..
 
Welcome to the forums, Vespen. Please post the mfg./model of computer you have. When you say "...when I'm pressing on the power button to turn my Pc on, It has like 5-7 sec' delay...", what has a 5-7 second delay? Until you hear the fans spin up? Until the POST screen appears? Until the loading Windows screen appears? Try to more accurately describe the events from the moment you press and release the power button.

Nice system...I'd suggest reseating the power button wiring connectors on the mobo's front panel header first. If no change, pull the connectors off and use either a jumper or a small flat blade screwdriver to bypass the case power button altogether. If it starts normally then there may be a problem with the power button's micro switch itself. If the micro switch is sticking, try taking it out of the case, give it a tiny shot of WD-40, work it a few times until you can feel it "click", then reconnect it and test if your computer starts normally.
