After about a minute of starting up my MSI Windows 11 PC, it completely freezes and produces a loud static noise through my headphones. The only way I can turn it off is by using the power switch at the back, not the main power button. This issue has been recurring; previously, it would only happen after 10 minutes, but now it happens immediately. Additionally, my PC turns off and on about three times before reaching the home screen. I'm pretty clueless about PCs or hardware, as I just bought a prebuilt one. Can anyone help?

It sounds like your power supply might be failing. I'd recommend turning your PC off and getting it looked at as soon as you can. It's better to be safe than sorry with power issues!
I saw a similar issue, and it turned out the PSU was the culprit. If you're unsure whether it's the power cord or the PC itself, it might be worth getting a professional to check it out.
Before doing anything, make sure you back up your data, just in case. If you're comfortable, you should check the BIOS settings or consider that the disk setup might be an issue. Do you have any diagnostics software running to catch errors?
