My pc shuts down within a minute & won't turn on instantly.I checked the ram, removed cmos battery for reset, turned off xmp,even tried paperclip method for psu(fans turned on). When turns on the cpu temperature was 40-45°C. What's the problem?

That 230W no-name power supply would be my first suspect.

I also think that psu is the culprit. Eventhough it passed paperclip method. I think the psu is failing to supply sufficient power.
The paperclip 'test' only tests to see if it can minimally power itself.

Like turning the key on in your car, and the dash lights come one. Then proclaiming 'the car is OK'.
Says nothing about how the engine works.

I agree...that janky PSU is the problem.
