I have seen this problem earlier with an old machine, which has an AT SMPS, and the power switch gets the power through a thick black cable with four cables in it(brown,black,blue & white). In my case, I found that the 'Toggle' function of the switch was bad & after replacing the toggle switch, all seemed to work fin.
See if you have similar problem.
Cheers.

Have you opened the case and checked to make sure that the wires from the switch are connected to the motherboard? Two wires should run from the switch in the front of the case to the same area that the power LED connects to the MB. It is probably marked PWR. Someone and/or vibration could have jarred it loose.
