Hello, I recently upgraded my PC, replacing the motherboard, CPU, and RAM. The current setup looks like this:
https://speccy.piriform.com/results/y3e8...WoOTMdWcRT
The issue is that the PC restarts on its own, and pressing the power button sometimes doesn’t turn it on. It also restarts even when the PC is off. The boot process never finishes properly—it only starts for a couple of seconds before shutting down.
Here’s a link showing what’s happening:

I’ve already changed the PC configuration because it was causing problems, but I haven’t seen any improvements. I don’t have a UPS.

It seems like a sticky power button. Consider disconnecting the switch connection from the mainboard and briefly connecting the two pins to initiate.

When I received the PC from my PC tech house, he was demonstrating it, and everything seemed normal. After the first upgrade, both times it worked perfectly, though it might have started after installing some programs. I'm not sure about that.

In the motherboard manual, find the front panel connectors. Remove the cables from the board and apply a metal object to the two "power" pins. If the computer functions correctly after doing this, it suggests an issue with your case's power button.
