Hi
All of a sudden a weird problem has come up. My desktop starts up only after i press Caps Lock key. At first it didn't start at all and i tried a few things like removing components, clearing dust but nothing worked and finally i tried a few keys on my keyboard and caps lock key helped. What is the problem?
Please help. Thanks.

As Bruce says, the first thing to try is a different keyboard. It could be something else, but you have to exclude the obvious first. Let us know how you get on!

Try testing with another keyboard. If the system will POST without any interaction, the original keyboard itself has a problem (most likely cause).
