It used to happen less often but now it's everyday sporadically.
Once it shuts off it will click on, the fans and lights all spin and come on, then almost immediately shuts back off and will keep doing this until the PSU is unplugged or the power button is held down for a few seconds.
If I leave the computer off for 15-20 minutes it boots back up right away.
Occasionally on the first boot back up, it will shut off mid boot once, then be fine until it eventually fully shuts off and goes into that cycle again.
Ruled out that it was my GPU by booting up without the GPU and using integrated graphics and it still ended up shutting off.
CPU temp floats around 55-72 degrees Celsius so I don't think it's overheating. Also no errors during post when I eventually get it back on. All other temps are fine too.
I'm thinking it might be the PSU but I haven't tried testing another yet.
