At times my computer won't start up until I shut off the PSU switch in

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.

I don't have any other issues though. No lockups or other issues
usually related to PSU problems.

Knowledge is like money, the less you talk about it
the more people assume you have.
