Would really appreciate some help as i did look into other threads but couldnt get a satisfactory answer.

This has happened a few times before too. When i turn my pc on, after a few seconds usually 3 to 4, it just kind of turns off and restarts and repeats. I have fixed this a few times by opening my system unit and disconnecting every wire, cleaning it up a little, reconnecting and then it works fine. Im concerned about this as i know this isnt a permanent solution and i want to do something about it before something really messes up. Help would really be appreciated thank you.

Some extra information ; the power goes out quite often here where i live like almost everyday for an hour and im usually using the pc at the time of the outage. Apart from that there is the fact that my motherboard's cpu socket had some damaged pins that were bent which i got fixed.
 
Solution
first do you have a surge protector for power outage that will help the other thing the bent pins does not help i would start the system with minimum parts in and since when you replug everything it goes well the could be a bad cable or connector on one of the parts .
