I've had similar problems at times. The problem has been with the ATA data cables rather than the power, however. ATA is very finicky about its connections; if the cables aren't fully connected or happen to be on backwards the system won't start. On ATX-based systems the MB won't even send the turn-on signal to the power supply.
