I've had my PC for around 6 years now and it sometimes gave some troubles like every other PC, but now it's doing a weird thing when I try to boot it up. It boots up for a few seconds and then shuts down, then starts booting up for another few seconds and then shuts down again, repeating this process over and over again until finally out of nowhere it boots up and it just runs like nothing happened. Is something wrong with my PC? Should I be worried? Thanks in advance!

It's a custom build but like I said I've had it for a while and it never did it. But you're probably right I haven't cleaned the cpu fan in a long time so that might be the problem.
I can only change the BIOS when I boot the pc up right? Also my motherboard is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti.
Yes you can only access the bios at bootup.
That would be your video card, not the motherboard. The 750ti is quite old at this point and it may also be what is causing the reboot issues. Are you overclocking at all? If so, remove the overclock and see what happens.
I have no clue what overclocking means so I don't know if I am overclocking or not xd. Also my bad on the motherboard, I thought u meant something else since I'm english is not my main language. I checked online and this is the motherboard, according to cmd, "PRIME B250M-K", pretty sure it's the default one that was on the pc when I first got it but I don't exactly know.
I went into the BIOS and didn't find anything with the name XMP so idk? xd. I might give Memtest86+ a try if it's a trustworthy source.
If it runs fine after it starts, I don't think heat is your problem. Being 6 years old timing could be a problem. Really anything overclocked for 6 years could be. Try going into the bios and set it to default. Now, if it has been overclocked that will reset everything.
