PC Not Booting Correctly

CeJay

When I start my PC it starts booting up for a second or two and then powers down, and then restarts and repeats. The lights turn on and the fan spins but it just stays in this cycle of powering on and off. I can get it to boot if I I turn my power strip on and off. After I do this the PC starts normally. This issue doesn't allow me to restart my computer either, so I can't apply my cpu overclock.

 

This problem has only been occurring for the last couple weeks, and started pretty much the same time I moved houses. I don't know why that would change anything.  I Have no idea what the problem is.

The overclock isn't applied at all.  If I go into my bios and set the overclock, the pc has to restart.  And whenever it restarts it boots up for a second and then shuts off, will keep doing this forever unless I restart my power strip.

seems to be power related

 

I just tried another outlet in my room and my pc just starts up and turns off immediately, I couldn't get it to fully boot.  I'm just wondering at this point if I need a new Power Supply.

Try the basic troubleshooting steps first:

 

Clear CMOS

Check power connections

Remove all non-essential components like GPUs, Sound cards, etc.

Try booting with one stick of memory
