My computer randomly turns off. It doesn't give any error or any symptoms before turning off suddenly.

It's been going on for a month or so. What I know is that it is not a problem related to something outside the computer like a bad power bar or a bad power cable for the PS.

I also know that it is not caused by overheating. Temps are fine when I check with speedfan and in the bios. Note that I've never seen it turn off while I was gaming.

Also every cable seems to be well connected because I tried opening it and moving cable/pulling on them while the computer was running and it never caused it to turn off.

I also formated my HDD. That's when I thought it worked because for about 5 days it didn't do it again until today.

Also when it does turn off, if I try restarting it quickly, it will start to boot then turn off quickly again.

I need to let it off for 2 minutes or so before restarting it. I know it sounds like overheating but it isn't.

And after I it finally restarts correctly, it can work for hours or days without turning off again.

I'm really lost here. Could really use any kind of help.

Thanks.
