PC Randomly Resets. How Do I Fix It ?

I've been having this problem for a while now where my pc will restart without warning.

My specs are:
Intel Core i7 6700k - CPU
GTX 1060 from MSI - GPU
Gigabyte Z170 - Motherboard
Macho Rev B - CPU Cooler
Viper Elite DDR4 (2x8) - RAM
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS - PSU
Crucial MX300 1TB - SSD
Windows 10 Home - OS
Phanteks Enthoo PRO M - Case
The two fans the case came with

I use a Razer Blackwidow Chroma TE, a Razer Taipan, Razer Kraken USB, an Ethernet cable, and the hdmi cable to my monitor.

I have my pc connected to this stick type of thing where i plug other things into it too.
When my pc resets, it's the only thing plugged that turns off and then on, so I don't think that the problem is coming from outside the pc. Another thing that might be causing it is that I built this pc a little under a year ago and haven't cleaned it yet with a can of pressurized air. I've also noted that some days I'll press the button to turn my pc on and nothing will happen, then after a while (about a few minutes) it'll turn pn like it's supposed to. This is really rare though. I've gone into my pc settings and turned off the option where my pc resets if something goes wrong. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, I could be watching some youtube videos, playing a game, scrolling through nice memes and it'll reset. The amount of times per day is random. On some days it'll be like 3, other days it'll be less, some more. Sometimes it resets when I hit it by accident or when I bang something against the table by accident. Any help would be appreciated :)
 
Solution
I don't know. You are just going to have to collect more info and be a detective. I can't see, hear or touch what you can. There is no obvious answer.

do you think this is still the case even if it resets without it being touched ? sometimes it resets when my hands are off the keyboard and mouse and i'll be watching a video or something

ok, so what could the problem be when it resets without being touched ? Like without physical contact
