PC Rebooting Before BIOS Entry

A couple weeks ago my custom loop's pump died and as such my rig locked up and shut off while I was using it. After replacing the pump, my PC entered a reboot loop every time I powered it on that day, rebooting almost every time a few seconds after the BIOS entry screen appears. After leaving it powered off overnight, the next morning it seemed to work fine and did for a couple weeks. Only one time I actually got a BSOD with the error: whea_uncorrectable_error (which Google seems to think could be related to voltage).

Today I woke up and powered it on, and I'm having the same reboot loop trouble. Every time I power on it reboots before I can either get into the BIOS or to the Windows loading circle. I followed a der8auer video to get my initial 5.0 OC stable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoUtA7DKXhU). I believe I'm at 1.35V for my OC.

Hardware:
i7 8086k (delidded @ 5.0Ghz)
Maximus X Formula
32GB DDR4
2080ti
970 evo (x2 RAID 0)
AX1200i PSU
EK-XTOP Revo Dual D5 Pump

Happy to provide any additional info that is necessary. Any thoughts on either the cause or solution?

I want to analysis memory dump file for BSOD causes, upload memory dump files in online storage and then paste link here . Send private messages to me Once you completed

Thanks for the reply, but I can't even get to a Windows desktop right now. When I try to turn it on, it reboots a few seconds after the screen that says "Press del to enter BIOS" shows.

It may magically start working again if so I'll get the kernel dump.

Not sure if it matters, but when it reboots the Q-Code sits on 99 for a few seconds, switches to 92 briefly, then back to 99 for less than a second before the reboot.

Well today I went through all my hardware removing each component to test if it was the cause. Finally, I replaced my PSU and the system booted up normally.
