My hp pavilion desktop powers on to a little orange light that glows on the front tower but it won't start up....What could that possibly be?
That sounds like the PSU. Had one that did that.

Sounds like it is in standby mode..........try pressing and holding the power button until it turns off fully. then remove the power cable to reset the power supply, wait for 5 mins then plug in and try again,
it is also possible that you have a fault , possibly a failed power supply, it might be best to investigate that if the power reset doesn't work
