My computer used to work perfectly and is only a year or so old. However recently my computer turns on and off multiple times when pressing the power button. I can still get into my system with some determination even though it's unpredictable when the system will have a successful startup. While in the system everything runs fine with no slowdown and temperatures are fine. I've tried resetting the bios but it changed nothing. I have also unplugged all cables and then plugged then its again with no change. Same goes for Ram (I have placed one in at a time). Perhaps this is an issue with the psu? Even so it's hard to work out what's wrong when the system (after a lot if attempts) boots fine.

My specs:
Intel I7 3930K
16gb Kingston ram
Corsair 850 watt psu
Asus p9X79 motherboard
Gtx 1060 6go
 
Solution
Try replacing the board's CMOS battery with a new one and testing different power supply, if possible. If still the same, it could be a board issue.

Thanks alexoiu. I gave it over to the local computer shop and they did their usual troubleshooting. Think the problem may of been the bios battery.
