Power down/power up

Recently I have been unable to power up my computer after shutdown/power down. Shutdown sequence seems to be fine, however when the computer powers down, the power light blinks. When I push the power button to power up, nothing happens. I end up having to turn the main power switch off and then on again in the back of the computer. What is causing this little hassle?

OR soemtimes just power up for a second then turn back off itself, then turn back on for a second and then off again, none stop cycle. then i just discovered that the PSU cable cord didnt connected properly. after i plug the cable cord tightly, the problem sovled. remove the PSU cable cord, then plug it back again.
