When I pressed the power button, the PC started briefly before restarting again. Earlier it would randomly shut down without clear cause, and the gaps between shutdowns grew smaller until it never stayed on for more than a second. I checked Windows Event Viewer, but found no critical errors linked to power issues. I cleaned dust from the PC, replaced the PSU and power cable, had it professionally assembled and disassembled twice. The shop said the cable was faulty and fixed the problem for a few days until shutdowns returned. Now I suspect a new issue: after a full day, the problem resolves itself, though it’s not sure if this is permanent. Have others experienced similar problems? I also tried plugging it into a different power strip outlet, which resolved the issue temporarily. A friend suggested the fuse might be bad, but that would affect other devices too. I need clarity—my job demands reliable power for long program runs.
