Unplug the power cord to your PSU. Hold down the power button on the computer (yes, while it's unplugged) for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and start up.

No problemo. What happens sometimes when you shut down is power is still held in some of the components of the computer, and it freaks out and won't start. Holding down the power button while unplugged discharges the capacitors and such in your computer allowing it to start fresh.

FYI, some motherboards also need to have the PSU off/unplugged before they will clear the CMOS.
