For a little while, this issue would occour, and with a few attempts of manually turning off the power supply then booting worked to get it to start, and once up and running, everything worked perfectly, running for hours on end with standard performance.

After a little period of time it would never get past the boot up/loop.

https://streamable.com/pktz4 < This video shows it happening. I press the power on button, it starts up for maybe 5-10 seconds or so- lights, fans, everything turns on, then it shuts off and goes dark, and then on its own tries to start up again, and will seemingly do so infinitely in a loop.

I've since tried to boot it with various components taken out (GPU, various fans & lights, DVD drive, swapped/taken RAM out, etc as well as all peripherals/USB devices). None seem to be working. The PSU is relatively new and the issue actually was a problem prior to it being replaced, so I doubt that is the cause of the problem. I've also tried to boot it with the minimal needed components, with the same issue persisting.

Is it logical to conclude the faulty component is the motherboard/processor? Which of the two it happens to be isn't too big of a deal since I've decided on both getting a new motherboard&processor (if this indeed is the problem) since just getting a new motherboard suitable for the processors 1150 socket seems like a headache anyway.

Any input/thoughts appreciated.
