Well my computer will turn on sometimes and other times it won't. When I do get it to come on it works fine but if I unplug the power supply and plug it back up it will not come on. If i open the case and unplug the power supply from the motherboard and jiggle it around alittle bit it will finally come on but i have to do this almost everytime I want to get on my computer. So I don't know it is the power supply or the motherboard. I know it is not the switch because the motherboard it self has a switch to power on and both switches will turn the computer on after I tinker with the power cord.

If you have a spare Power Supply hook it up and give it a try if it still continues to have boot problem your motherboard needs to be replaced.
A lot of the time it's usually the PSU acting up (Power Supply Unit) so as i said above from with a spare PSU if you have one if not then buy one and try it out if it still continues then your motherboard is stuffed and should get it replaced.
I do hope your not jiggling the power connector on the motherboard while the power is connected because one wrong move will fry your motherboard as well as your other hardware.
But yes troubling shooting your Power Supply is a good start.

Firstly..
Never unplug your PC from the main while it is switched on as you risk blowing components.
I suggest you check the fuse within the PC system as it sounds like it may be damaged or blown.
From what you told us I think it's a problem with you power supply/input.
