When I start gaming, Or running the system at load it will turn off, But it's more like it resets for a while, My Wifi Dongle light is still lit, And hitting the power button does absolutely nothing after a few moments it will just power itself back on. I have no idea what's causing it and would really love assistance.
 
Solution
Check CPU and GPU temperatures under load first. If temperatures look good, then either one of your components is triggering a system reset for some reason or the PSU is having hiccups.

I had issues with my PC randomly rebooting two or three summers ago and it turned out to be a clogged PSU air filter.
