My laptop, works perfectly, without problems. For the last 3-4 days, it developed a strange habit. When I make it sleep or shut down, it does. But when I try to power it up,it powers up for 2-3 secs, then it gets closed by itself. At second time when I press power button, after it cuts the electricity and gets closed by itself, it works without problems. I couldn't guess what the problem is. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it. :)

Note: Tried both with power cable plugged in or battery only, same thing happens.

System:

MSI GE60-0NC
Chipset Intel® HM76
Intel i7-3630QM CPU
nVIDIA Geforce GT650M 2GB GDDR5 Model
8gb DDR3 1600MHz
750GB SATA 7200 rpm

Windows 10 x64 Single Language
 
I disabled hibernation from Powercfg and everything seems normal now. I was just experimenting for 2 days. I don't really know why I cannot use hibernation. If anyone has answer for that, I really use hibernation very much, I would like to fix it. There was a major Windows 10 Update last week, I am thinking it may be connected to this ? :)
 
I think hibernation was the problem. I really don't know why but it seems like it. Now notebook works normally after I closed hibernation from Powercfg. Strange.
