Hey my PC is about 4 years old and it has been working for a few years until i came across a problem where my PC will suddenly get a blue screen of death and crash(usually happens when im midgame). Upon trying to turn it on again, I get a problem where it just wouldn't turn on. The power button lights up, i hear the fans spin as the PC starts, and all of sudden it just shuts off like the power died. It keeps trying to turn itself on in and endless loop but to no avail. I have to turn the main power off and try again in awhile and it turns on again if i get lucky. I thought it was a corrupted bios or something so i reinstalled windows and the problem went away but its back again. I was wondering if it is a faulty hardware that i need to replace or something? Oh and every of my BSOD messages are different so i cant figure out what is wrong too :/

windows 10 64bit
Intel i5 4400 3.1hz
gigabyte r9 270x gpu
Corsair CX600M psu
8GB ram
MSI H87-G43 gaming mobo
 
Solution
IT might be the GPU, you could try removing it and using the onboard graphics and see if it makes any difference. You won't be able to play many games with it though. If you can, test GPU in another PC and see if it does the same.

It could be the Power Supply as it might be not supplying enough power to run all the parts

It could be the complete lack of a SSD or HDD in the case (but I guess you just didn't list them)
