PC won't turn on

My pc only turns on after i click the q-flash button on my motherboard, aside from that it wont turn on. It works fine until I shut it off, anyone know what the problem might be?
Motherboard: Z590 UD AC
GPU: RTX 3070 Aorus Edition
CPU: i7-11700F

ok so if that's the only thing wrong then it isn't too bad
you can always buy a pc power button for about 10 bucks off of ebay and test to see maybe your current one is messed up

also, when it sometimes does turn on, i occasionally get a black screen and have to turn it off and on again

it might be an issue that has come up before. so it might be worth a try.

power button might be the issue but when i press the q-flash button i have to click the power button after to turn it on, doesn't that mean the power button works fine? sorry this is my first PC and im not too knowledgeable about pc parts

ok so if the computer is shut off, pressing the power button itself doesn't work. you have to do q-flash and THEN power button for it to work. ok that's very interesting.
