PC will not turn off and then on

Hi, I have heavy problems with turning off/on my table computer. If I do not catch turning it off manually by a button, while still in the stage of software switching off, it will not switch off at all. The monitor blackens out, but there is no other help to turn the PC off than by means a main switch. If this happens, it invariantly refuses switch on (no sign of life), only after many (tens of) repeating attempts. If I catch the switching off as described, the new start is quite regular. The repair shop replaced the power supply, and recommended rebuilding the system. Of no avail. What pieces of hardware should I start to replace? Thanks PB
