Default Problem with Enermax EG365P-VE

Hi! been lurking around this site for quite some time now, learned lots of things... This will be my 1st post...

I have an Enermax EG365P-VE PSu on my PC, when I turn my PC "on" after a long period of not being used, it turns on normally, If I continuously use my PC lets say for a day or so, its fine with no hicups even 24/7...

now here's the problem, If i decided to turn it "off" and turn it "on" a again after a few minutes, my pc will NOT turn "on", I have to wait an hour before I could turn it on again...

I've decided to open up my PSU, I started looking for indications of a leaking capacitor BUT could not find one, my friend told me that a bad cap or caps could be the problem, with no obvious visual signs of a leaking caps, he said I should remove and test "each" capacitor one by one on the secondary side... that's a lot of capacitor to remove and test one by one ! maybe you guys can help as to where to do I start? which caps to pull out and test first...

any inputs?
