So over the last month or so my PC has started shutting down, and then attempt to turn on after 5-10 seconds, sometimes with luck and sometimes not (though most times it just shuts down again, making an infinite circle of restarts)

I´ve tried removing one of my sticks of RAM, which resolved the issue for a couple of days, though now it seems to be back at it again.

First it was a couple of times a week, now its a couple of times each day and at this point, after hours of searching the web for help, i´m pretty much clueless...

I´ve had the PC for about 6 years, but i´ve changed some hardware over the years as they "grew" old...
My specs are as follows:
-MSI P67A-C45 (which i´ve yet to replace..)
-nVidia GeForce GTX 1060
-16GB RAM
-Intel i7-3770 @ 3.60Ghz
-1TB HDD
-128GB SSD
-SP-SS500 500w PSU
-Windows 10

Edit:
The problem started occurring after i started using my new BenQ Zowie 27" LED 144hz monitor, when i changed from previously using HDMI to DVI, i dont know if that has a say?

Appreciate all help i could get!!

Is the power supply faulty? If you have another spare try that. Also did you change any settings when you last used it. if you did change anything try removing the little battery on motherboard and putting it back in.
