I am almost certain the PSU must be the problem.
I had three PSU's lost due to overheating. They all gave me the same problems you got, including the disconnectiong the powercord before the boxes would startup again.
I disconnected the PSU's and connected just some HDD's, and still it wouldn't start untill the powercord was disconnected (and then reconnected of course
) I think that prooved it was the PSU in my cases.
If you wanna be sure it's the PSU in your situation, if the error occurs again, disconnect all cables except the powercable, one of your HDD powercables and the powerswitch cable and see if it will start. If not, disconnect the HDD cable, and connect it to the CDROM drive. If it still won't powerup you proofed your PSU is at fault.
Maybe cooling is the problem for you too. Try vacuming the PSU, it often helps . . .
