Hello
So my PC was doing this thing sometimes when I tried to turn it on where it would turn of when the Windows logo appeard and then I had to keep turning the PSU switch on and of until it came back to normal. Now it stops after just 1 second, and the switch thing is not working anymore. It reminds me of a dar without battery.I tried removing the RAM and putting it back again and it worked on the second try, but I think it was just luck since it didn't work now.
Can anyone point me some possible causes for this? The PC is not even 1 year old.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Motherboard: Asrock extreme 3
gpu: nvidia 760
processor: amd FX 8320 Black edition
PSU: Something with 600W and pfc
RAM: corsair 1600 MHz 2x 4gb
HD Seagate 1TB / 64mb buffer 7200.12 Barracuda

Sorry if I missed something, I was not the one who built it, it was the computer guy that fix my computer, but I do understand about some things though.

PS: The computer turned on a few minutes ago, but the problem will probably continue sooner or later

I would suspect the PSU since it's resetting it that sometimes helps. If you can, open the case and get brand and model info off the label on the side of the PSU. Otherwise, I'd take it to the builder and warranty it. At the very least all the parts should have minimum of a 1 year manufacturers warranty on them.

The label on the PSU says: SEVENTEAM - model: ST 600PFL,

The PSU beeing the problem really makes more sense. I'll contact the pc guy on monday, just wanted to know if it was something that I could fix or was a faulty pc part.
