I've had my PC for about a year now. I've been having a power cycling problem with my PC for a while. Previously i've got it to turn on after having it power cycle for 20+ minutes. However whenever it turns off I have to deal with it power cycling until it turns on. This is really unusual and I really want to deal with this problem. Most recently my PC force shut down while I was rendering something in Blender, it power cycled, turned on but now there was no display output from both the integrated graphics and my GPU. Tried troubleshooting which required my to unplug my PC and now it won't stop power-cycling.
When it power cycles the fans light up and spin, The cooling system, RAM and GPU also light up as well. Always stays on for about 18-22 seconds then turns off for about 2-5 seconds. Repeats.
Some troubleshooting i've tried.
I'm not really sure what the problem is here. My main suspect is the motherboard but from what I've read a defective motherboard results in the system not working at all, however, I've had similar power cycling problems which resolved on it's own where the PC worked perfectly fine. I'm thinking about replacing my motherboard but wanted to ask on the forums if there were any other things I could try to get my PC to stop power-cycling.

Some troubleshooting i've tried.
- Checked my PSU (650W) , and tested with my friend's PSU (850W), it still continued to power cycle.
- Tried reseating RAM
- Tried reseating GPU (Also tested my GPU in my friend's pc and it worked fine so not a GPU problem)
- Reapplied thermal paste
- Tried reseating CPU cooling system
