Oddly, mine has decided to do the exact same thing, starting on Friday evening. It used to do it on rare occasions with a previous PSU, and very rarely on the newer PSU, but now it happens EVERY time since friday night. I suspect the board is at fault.

The only way I can boot is to remove the power cable from the PSU, wait 10 secs, plug back in and it will boot with no issue.

Out of interest, what revision of the mobo are you using? I'm running revision 1.0.

@MrChampionHero I think I'm on 1.0. Gigabyte has RMA'd the board, I've heard it's a corrupt BIOS chip that they have to re-flash with a programmer, but am not sure that is the case.
