Over heating is why I was thinking the fan (or fans) in the system if they were not working would soon heat your processor and board up and some systems have an auto shutoff for safety. A 300W supply should be more than enough for what you have, but when you say it has a "bit" of power, that alerts me to think perhaps your supply is defunct. Try the other supply you have and see if it works. But one other thing...if your system does get hot in there, the question will be, does it have enough cooling. As mentioned, if your system has a safety feature to shut down on excess heat, that might be the case. Just out of curiosity, is your computer built by you or a no-name brand company, or is it a brandname? Plus, what is your complete configuration and setup?
