Boot problem

So my problem is the following:

I shut down my computer and unplug it. The next time I plug it in, I press te power button, it turns on the light for less than a second and shuts down. That happens for at least two minutes if I keep pressing it, I have to wait five minutes after I can press the button and then it boots perfectly. I dont know whats going on.

Thanks in advance for your troubles.

    Always include the exact PC model and version of Windows in your posts.

    When was last time you replaced the motherboard battery?

    I'd replace the motherboard battery first, if nothing else than to rule it out as causing the problem. It's a CR2032 3-volt lithium coin cell battery, only ~$2 at discount stores.

    Here's the Studio 540s service manual which has instructions to replace the battery on page 10.
