No.
The computer uses a lot of power when first booting, but this only lasts a couple seconds before it reduces considerably. It will reduce further when the system is on and idle after booting.
The amount of power saved by turning the PC off for 5 minutes is equivocal, approximately, to the power used in 1 minute of it being on and idle.
An idle PC uses typically 80 to 400 watts of power. And a PC that is off uses typically less than 10. (If unplugged, none at all.) A PC on and in-use, such as gaming, typically uses 150 to 2500 watts, varying vastly.
These figures are for desktops. Laptops use less power overall. But it ALWAYS uses less power to turn a PC OFF, than to leave it on.
