After casually playing some games this afternoon, I was happily greeted by a blue screen that said "your PC needs to restart" or something along those lines, I can't remember exactly what it said. I naturally waited a few minutes for it to restart, but it did not, so I hard reset it hoping that I didn't just ruin it. After the screen went black, I waited a few seconds, then turned it back on. I was confused to see that noting happened, so I looked at the LED's inside my computer to see if it was even runnning. I saw that the lights would turn on for a second, then back off... over and over and over again. The fans would spin, the lights would turn on, and my keyboard and mouse would briefly light up, then it went dark. Between each reset, the lights would be off for a few seconds, then come back on.
After a bit of googling, I read that it could possibly be a PSU issue, so I went and bought a new Corsair 750w fully modular one. I did not do much digging for the issue after reading that it could be a power supply failure for a couple reasons.
Now, I am desperate to fix it in order to be able to complete my assignments and to get ready for the new COD release. Please, if anyone has had this issue in the past, or knows any information to help me out, please let me know what you know. Also, feel free to ask me questions to learn more about my issue. My specs are as follows.
GPU- MSI GTX 1070
CPU- Intel I7 9700k
MOBO- MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus
RAM- Corsair DDR4 2x8gb
Thanks to anyone that helps!

- I was anxious to fix my computer because I have an assignment due tonight
- I have replaced everything in my PC from the original build except the PSU, so I was inclined to make the upgrade.
