my trusty PC of almost 7 years old recently started to boot loop again..

the weird thing is after reseating rams and gpu, it will go away.
1-2 days later it will come back.

is my pc dying?

Could it be the motherboard gpu or psu??

Would appreciate some insights here. Gam xia hamida

could be a dying MB or simply a contact issue.

You can try cleaning the gold contacts of the GPU and RAM and see if that helps.

one old trick I use is to clean all contacts (RAM, GPU) with an eraser. This has helped me a lot in the past. Give that a go and see if that helps to keep it going longer!

is this for real?
Sounded like a troll šŸ˜‚

I can't afford the luxury of slowing changing out parts to test since I don't have spares.

Am considering to change to a itx build and salvage whatever I can.

Possible to build a itx build for 600?
Don't need os dvdr ssd or maybe ram/gpu.

Just sharing with you what I have tried and this backdates to the 90's when I was troubleshooting 486's and Pentiums back in the UK. Don't knock it till you try it AND if it works for you then ITS ALL GOOD!

No problem man. The main point in cleaning using an eraser is to NOT use any liquid on the contact points and potentially damaging your RAM or GPU but at the same time get a good clean dry surface as crap does build up over time.

Today my PC hanged. And upon restarting it showed the blue screen of death follow by this kernel security check failure msg. And it actually hang at the bsod screen at 30% lol.

After that it's back to bootloops.
I tried your eraser method on both my ram and gpu but it's still the same.

I guess it's time to spend money

looks likely to be a gpu issue

best case if you can test with another gpu
