Hello,
So my computer decided to go act (quite worryingly) weird today. It'll be a lot so I'll put it in as a list:
1. I was playing a game then It went BSOD for 2 seconds then restarted by itself (I wasn't able to know or capture what BSOD error it was I was thrown off guard of getting a BSOD out of nowhere)
2. After it restarted I just went back to playing hoping nothing happens again, but after a couple of minutes instead of a BSOD the PC restarted by itself for no reason
3. During the restart it was making one long beep followed by 3 short beeps which means my PC doesn't detect output to a monitor, from this point it started to go into a restart cycle so I held the power button and switched off the PSU to ensure it's fully switched off
4. I then started it up again it was followed by one long beep and a yellow light next to 'DRAM' on the motherboard and it stayed that way so I turned off the PC again
5. After a couple of minutes I switched on the PC again and it managed to post but was greeted by the 'American Megatrends' screen which told me that the system posted in safe mode and to press F1 to go into the BIOs
6. After going out of the BIOs (considering I haven't made changes there) it booted up fine and managed to get into the windows log-in page but before I use it, I decided to restart my PC (via the windows log-in screen) in hopes to clear any potential issues and then it started going into that restart cycle again during the restart (I could tell it was going into a restart cycle cus the RGB lights were going on and off and fans spooling down and up again). As of now I'm currently not using my PC and probably plan not to switch it on in case it causes more instability/damage which I don't want to do.

One thing for sure is that my temperatures were ok (the last time I cleaned my PC of dust was in late July 2022 but by then it wasn't really covered in dust) and I usually have the fans running at a higher speed than they usually need to be since I tend to have my PC running a game for hours, plus I checked the temps after the first BSOD and they were fine.
At this point, I'm not really sure what to do since I'll probably won't turn on my PC again in case it does something weird again and generally don't want to touch the parts inside in case it makes the situation worse. Plus, if it's hardware issues/failure my warranty for parts is already over so....
