CPU turns off randomly

I am having sporadic problems with my PC powering itself down, and then being unable to power it back up. Pressing the power button does nothing. To get it power up again, I must unplug the power from the power supply and replug it in.
I also noticed that if I detach the motherboard from the power supply and reattach, the PC will boot up. Not the smartest thing to do I know, but I was trying to characterize the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas what my problem might be? The motherboard is an Abit KG7-Lite. The power supply is an Enlight 300W PS. The 12V rail is supposed to be able to supply 13A.
