So earlier my PC powered off and I powered it back on. But it powered back off even the mobo lights turned off. My mobo bios showed my ssd and my hdd and then it powered off again. What do you guys think it is? I already ordered a new PCU and should be here tomorrow.
I had an issue like that and it turned out my CPU was overheating from improper use of thermal paste.

You should check out your fans an temps to be sure things are being cooled properly. Speccy I think has temp monitoring in it.
Providing it's not your CPU or your PSU, consider replacing your CMOS battery. My CMOS battery was bad and outwardly it seemed a lot like a PSU issue.
pc is 5 years old ill try re doing the cpu paste and the battery. i usually always monitor my cpu when its on an when im in a game. but i really appreciate the help from all your help. also funny thing im on my wiiu and it shows im posting from it on here.
when replacing the cmos battery remember to unplug the pc to let the bios reset as well
