Question PC loops rebooting and won't properly boot ?

hi so my pc will not boot up properly. when powered on, the rgb (gpu, mouse etc) light up and my cpu fan starts spinning, but after 2 seconds it fully shuts down. then after 4-ish seconds it loops that process for as long as i keep the pc on (or trying to turn "on"). I tried turning off the psu for a while then turning it back on but same issue. however after reseating my 2 ram sticks it seems to be working just fine now (which is how I'm making this post).

However, even though i've "fixed" the issue, i know it will happen again because this has happened a few times in the past but i had no confirmed way of fixing it. I've done pc scans and literally every "fix" you can find on the internet for this type of stuff, but after a couple months, issues just randomly appear and it's really freaking annoying. If you have anything that i could do to possibly prevent this problem in the future (probably gonna happen again in a day or 2), please help me. i will answer further questions.

Remove the ram sticks and use a pencil eraser to gently clean the contacts.

Give the ram slots a quick blow out.

Test.
