you may have a failing capacitor somewhere on your motherboard.

did you unplug all nonessential boards/stuff leaving only your CPU and 1 stick of RAM to see if that fixes the problem?

One thing that I noticed though is, when I plugged the power supply cable to the PSU, a green light on the back of the PSU turned green. However, when I pressed the power button, that green light goes off. So, I unplugged the cable and then replugged it so the light turned green. Again, when I press the power button, the green light disappears instantly.

Is this significant?



probably not.
