Hello all...
I just recently built a new PC and it has problem turning on and off RANDOMELY
I did some googling and read some threads including ones here, but they all seem to be about cases where it doesn't turn on at all.
For me, it's random and intermittent. about 4/5 times, it turns on, and once it's on, it runs totally fine, and doesn't turn off on its own.
I just don't understand why in that 1/5 times it turns on and then off. I'm scared that there's some malfunctioning parts or short in there somewhere that's going to roast my parts and make it non-functional......
I already tried cleaning the GPU and Memory(RAM) metal parts with an eraser, and tested my memory with memtest86 which showed no error after over 50 minutes, tried prime95 too, but I had to stop prematurely since I don't have enough cooler fans to keep the temperature under control.
I got so scared, I got a different PSU and it still has the problem....so less likely it's the PSU....
as puzzled and clueless as I am at this point, I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with either the way I assembled the parts, or something wrong with the case? especially the power switch and its cable?
Here's a video of what happens...sorry it's little dark and hard to see.

My spec is

Memory Samsung 21300 16gb
GPU MSI gtx 1660 Ventus XS (not ti)
SSD Samsung Evo 860 500g
PSU Seasonic Focus Gold 650W
I also noticed that when the turn off happens, the eagle picture on the mobo stays lit up like
