Here a video of that my computer does. https://youtube.com/shorts/o-JFbjKJFZw?feature=share4 Basicly as soon as I plug the power cable after like 10 second the computer goes into a boot loop. I dont press the power button at all, just connect the power in the back and the computer start by itself. No usb plug or ethernet. I was able to go in windows after been unplug for a bit. Then once im boit maybe only after a few minute, windows start to shutdown without me doing anything.... it not a power cut, but windows just turn off. Then after it off, 10 seconds and start boot loop as per the video. It is a MSI MEG Aegis Ti5 11th. still a sign of bad motherboard? Power supply?

It seems there might be a short circuit in the power pins on the motherboard, leading to a hard restart. If you're okay handling the PC, open it up and remove the power and reset switches. I couldn't locate the exact position of these connectors for your setup, but they’re usually found at the bottom-right corner of the board. After that, try turning it on with a screwdriver and observe if the problem continues. You can find instructions here about using a screwdriver to power it on. Edit: some minor errors detected

Thanks will be checked on Monday. The issue seems complex, possibly involving the motherboard or power supply. The cable might also be a factor. Since the computer tends to collect dust, I’ll attempt a thorough cleaning. I’ll follow up with an update next week. Appreciate it!

A faulty power switch inside the case might be the issue. @AdityaSaraf offers a fix if that’s true. The case could also be causing a short circuit, though this is less likely on a well-functioning system. Dust may also create a connection between electrical points, so use compressed air to clear it out.
