I have a very weird issue with my PC right now, this would happen rarely. This month it happened 2 times now. When I am playing games my computer suddenly shutsdown itself then turns back on and off nonstop it won't even reach the logoscreen when it turns on and off nonstop.

It would come back to normal when i would let my PC stay turned off for about 10minutes, then when i turn it back on it's normal again no more issues.

Here is my specs:
Intel i5 4670 with Corsair H60
MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING
MSI R9 270x GAMING
G.Skill RipjawsX 1600 2x4gb (8gb)
500gb Seagate 7200rpm SATA
Silverstone ST50F-ES 500w 80+ bronze

I have no performance issues though, there is no decrease in framerate or temperature problem.
Could my powersupply be the culprit of this? It is 4 years old. My other parts are brand new.
This problem would only happen if my PC is on full load, when im just on my desktop everything is fine.

either the psu or overheating the cpu/mobo. try running it with the side of the case open for a bit if it still does it then try aiming a fan at it and if it still does it then your psu is starting to burn out most likely

my board temps are around 40 - 45c. my cpu would go from 40 - 60c.
what i am worried is that nonstop turn on and turn off it has like a few seconds gap like around 3seconds, I can only stop it by switching off my AVR, can that damage my system? that nonstop turn on and turn off.
