I own a computer for roughly eight months. It functioned flawlessly until yesterday when it suddenly stopped working and restarted after a minute. After using it for about two hours more, it crashed again and wouldn’t turn on for 30 minutes. I searched online for solutions but found no clear fixes. I tried resetting the BIOS by removing and reinserting the motherboard battery, but when I turned it on, it would power on and off several times before stopping completely. The power button sometimes fails entirely, and even though fans operate normally now, there’s a risk of sudden crashes at any moment. I’m unsure why this keeps happening despite everything I’ve done.

It sounds like you have something defective, somewhere. Most likely your PSU or mobo. Can you give us a hardware list? Also, look for shorts, especially stuff like header pins or the back of your mobo to the case.
