Try removing the ups and plugging the system into a power strip or the wall.

Try unplugging the power cord to the tower and blowing on both ends before replugging and booting...Does this solve your problem?

Replace the power cord..Does this solve your problem?

Try Unplugging the trigger switch from the mother board and blowing on the contacts and reconect.
Then turn on your PC...Does this solve your problem?

When your PC doesn't start, wiggle the trigger switch...If it starts when you do then you need to replace the trigger switch...

Once you run threw this tedous list get back to me...
