MOBO or PSU

Back in March I had an issue with my Corsair PSU failing to boot unless capacitors drained. Now I'm experiencing sudden shut downs followed up the PC trying to boot itself back up again at which time it turns off in an endless off/on cycle every 3-5 seconds. I plugged my trusty (albeit loud) XFX psu into the 24 and 8-pins and it fired up the system no issues, while the corsair still went through the on/off cycle. I'm horrified to think an RMA replacement unit is also failing. It passes the built in system test, but what else would cause the off/on cycle? Went over the wiring and all solid connections.

Give us a full System spec out.

If you are overclocked it can be sighn off a failed overclock.

Try default settings and see if the boot cycles still happen.

Neg, swapped the XFX in there and it's still doing it -_-

Black Friday coming up I think is going to be the most likely solution.

go to the basics. I would go for one ram stick, one GPU, and have bios "reset to default". Disconnect HDD and see if it will run to bios and stay there. But you could definitely take it the step further by going to integrated graphics and pull the board from the case.
