So just out of nowhere my PC suddenly turned off then tried to turn back on again without me pressing the power button and now it just loops turning on for a split second then turns off and does this repeatedly untill I turn off the PSU. Another thing I noticed is the led light under the heatsink of the chipset flashes white when I turn on the PSU. I have never noticed this before and thought it was a spark but I'm pretty sure it just the LED behind it. Also everything seems to turn for the split second it is on

So far I have tried replugging all cables, took out then put back in the ram, cleaned some dust out and took out the GPU. When I did take out the GPU I noticed it will actually turn on for about 10 seconds before turning off and on again but nothing shows up on the monitor.

My system specs:
CPU - Delidded 8700k
Cooler - Corsair H105
MOBO - Asrock z370 killer SLI/ac
RAM - 2 x 8gb Gskill Ripjaw ddr4 3600
GPU - MSI 2070 armor
Storage - 256gb sabrent m.2 , 500 gb SATA SSD WD Blue

Yeah my power button isn't stuck and is working. It has to be the motherboard or the PSU right? I guess I'll just replace the PSU if that doesn't work I'll return it and try replacing the mobo.
