Remove and reinstall the memory, video, and hard drive cables. May have a loose connection. I had a similar problem that was solved by reinserting the video card.

Looks to me its a 300W PSU. What brand is it? Now it wud be better if u cud measure the voltages thru a VOltmeter.

Meanwhile if u have access to another PSU, do try that on. And what brand is ur PSU?

Maybe there is something worng in your mainboard's power-control modules.You can change another board and check if it is true.

You need a better Psu. At least 400 watts.
