My PC needs time to start up!

Recently my PC needs some time to start up after i opened the main power switch. I would like to ask - is it possible it is due to the fault that i had my cpu tower moved from my table to the ground therefore power had drained away?
However, there are 4 rubber stands at each corner of my cpu tower bottom so that will prevent power draining...am i right?
Also, it only will happen after i had my main power switch turned off for a night and on the next day it will not start up unless i wait for around 15min...
Anyone can help with this problem?? Thanks for all replies.
