Power Problem (slightly offtopic?)

I know this is off-topic, but I think someone might be able to help me with
this here. If you want, reply privately to higginbo_at_netpath. net.

I haven't got a clue on this one:

I was putting together this system the other day at work, got everything
setup, turned it on, and it was fine. But when I hit reset or power down, I
can't get it to come back up at all. The hard drives would init, the cd-rom
drives would power up, but nothing would come up on screen, no memory
check, etc. I could then reset a few times and it would eventually come up.
The system is getting power, and the motherboard and case/PS are brand new.
So I'm throwing this out to you guys:

Is it the power supply not providing enough juice for all the drives? It's
a 250w PS, and everything works once it's on.

Is it the motherboard? (TX Pro chipset, el cheapo, but have had no probs
with them in the past.)

Not enough power getting to the power supply?

I'm at a loss on this one.
