It could be the power button. You can use a paperclip to start it instead:

(You should be able to get the paperclip in the top. Practice with the power cord out first. If you can reach the terminals on the power switch and short them, that would be safer.)

If it starts consistenly, the power button is the likely suspect, otherwise it could be the motherboard, or the CPU fan not starting.

If it is an old system, replace the CMOS battery. This is work good.

Do what Andy2008 said first - likely cause

The simplest way to test the power switch is to swap it with the reset switch, then try to boot with the reset switch.

Is this a new build or an old, formerly working PC. Makes a big difference.

Need system specs. Without knowing that, you could have swapped one POS PSU for another and we wouldn't know.

Work through the list.
