So I tried to turn on my PC today, but it wouldn't send a signal to my monitor or my peripherals. I tried again and then once more. Finally, after switching off the PSU at the back and turning it back on, everything worked like it should. For today the problem is fixed, but should I be worried?

 

EDIT: Alright, the problem might be fixed(?) I've tried to remove the cmos battery, tried different ram configurations and now it magically started behaving itself again. Let's see if it holds up..

PSU is probably dying, but could be something else.

I read some other similar problems, where they said it was either a Psu or Mobo problem. More problems have come up though. After playing games for an hour or two, the monitor froze and the peripherals turned off again. Had to force restart it and now it's stuck in the msi loading screen.. Pc is maybe 4 months old so is it a faulty part or is there something to fix it?

Being intermittent and having so many different symptoms makes it difficult to troubleshoot. I would RMA the board after checking all your connections first.
