I'm having trouble with my PC not starting properly from a cold boot. It powers on for just a second and then shuts off, but if I unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in, it starts up and runs just fine. I've already checked that all the cables are securely connected to my GPU. I'm starting to think that my power supply unit (PSU) might be faulty. Any suggestions?

Just curious, is your CPU a Ryzen by chance, and are you using DDR6000 RAM?
It sounds like your PSU could be the issue, possibly a faulty capacitor. Sometimes when they get warm, they work fine, but they can cause problems like what you're experiencing. I'd recommend replacing it sooner rather than later to avoid any damage.
Actually, I have a Ryzen 7 5700G and I'm using DDR4 3200MHz RAM.
