Use your reset button. Connect it to the ATX power on header of the MB.

As Ric wrote, wire up the reset button.
Also note that some motherboard _REQUIRED_ a jumper be moved
prior to using an ATX power supply. Some even had a sticker
covering the ATX socket to highlight this point. Consult
your manual to determine if this is necessary.
