dx2300 Microtower (power shuts off)
only 3 things cause self turn off.
- PSU bad or is overloaded, we bench test it or in place test it, ask . its easy jumper to do that.
- THE mobo sees gross errors; Like overheated CPU or fans dead. and commands the PSU to off, state. to save it from damage.
- and The OS (unstated by you) is corrupted and does a commanded SOFT POWER OFF.
that covers all ways.
that no monitor monitor to me tells me, the VGA GPU chip/card
is failing or you do not have full power to it (DC power)
all that matters is the self turn off cause
remove the HDD , if it still self turns off the proves, #3 is NOT IT.
ever clean this beast?

make sure heat sinks not falling off and fans (ALL Of them)
are not packed in lint, my DX has 3 fans, all are tachmeter monitored. PSU fan, CPU fan and a GPU fan (GTX card there)
alway eheck all fans with eyes, not just sound. they most blow.
air.
does the cd eject? if not power is gone. or weak.
power can be good/bad or weak,,(it really is an analog world) for NOISY.
the jumper test is here.
