At times my computer won't start up until I shut off the PSU switch in
the back or unplug from wall long enough for lights on the board to go
out. Then and only then will it start.

So I am leaning towards power supply.

I do not get any other errors or lock-ups.

The easiest way to troubleshoot is to swap out the psu with a
known-working one. So do that and you'll know whether the psu needs to
be replaced.
