Usually a sign of component failure on the motherboard, in most cases it is CPU you could try replacing all the caps on the mobo this once worked for me with the exact same issue.

Looks to be a clone, afaik the original DM800HD do not have a fan.

Thanks for the your answers,I don't think I can change the caps on motherboard.

Have you tried another power supply or tried to measure the power at the output? That could be an option.
If the ELKOs are "broken" the box do not get enough power.
That should be the first point to check.
