Clean your ram contact.
Use an eraser to rub off the dirt at the gold contacts thoroughly.
Then use a soft brush to sweep off the dust that is left by the eraser.

After that, brush the ram slot thoroughly also.
Once all is done, reinsert your ram.

99% of the issues, suddenly one day like that.. cannot turn on.

My PC keeps switching on and off as shown in the youtube video below
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU8q3wQg4vQ)

Can someone please let me know how to fix it? Any recommendations for shops at Sim Lim to fix this?

Thank you.

Recently, i had similar problem like yours, my pc will self power off and after a few sec power on by itself, the only thing different from yours is most of the time its able to boot into window and power off again and power on after a few sec, turned out its faulty psu for my case.after switching psu, its working fine now.

Thanks but is there a way to test to see what the problem is? I don't have a spare psu lying around.

Thanks would try it out. Any good guides around to demonstrate how to do this? I am not a pc expert.

You can look online where they show how to use eraser and clean it.. but 99% of them do not do it properly as they did not use a brush to free the eraser residue which completely breaks the point or make it worst.

Just brush it in a circular motion

Check your cable connections, did you confuse the gpu or pcie cables with the cpu cables?
