Alright so when I unplug my retro pc at night and plug it in the morning or afternoon it always starts automatically without me pressing the switch.
Could this be because of a damaged Power Supply? Also can this damage other components?
Any help would be appreciated 👍
Could be several things. I'd the check the bios settings or if there are any jumpers on the motherboard for auto-on. You also may want to try a new CMOS battery.

Look in the BIOS for the power on settings. Something named like "on power loss" turn on / stay off, etc.
Usually it's "State when AC restored" or similar, with options from on/off/previous state.
This question comes up quite often, I've had it happen to me with some boards, and other people also posted this weird Ghost in the Machine behaviour. It just happens with some boards. It just happens.

Alright so sorry for posting before troubleshooting as I found the problem within minutes. The power switch on the case is just broken/lose.
