Faulty PS is one possibility. Another is the power switch itself. To rule
out the switch try taking off the connector to the two pins on the mb and
simply short those two pins with a flat head screw driver. If it starts then
the switch is probably at fault giving too much resistence for a decent
connection..

The other thought is if this is a new build. If it is then are you sure the
connectors are placed on the proper pins and the power switch connector is
reversed with the reset connectors?

My new bld seem to have developed the same problem or similar. when i press
the reset button it acts like the power button ie comes on but doesnt
reboot. I thought it was the memory timings but it is not. Also my uguru
software doesnt work must be a bios issue?

sounds like you have not put the leads from the buttons to the mainboard correctly.
