Hello everyone! So, after travelling for work I see that my old Alienware bought in 2015 (17 r2) got stuck in a perma boot loop. I "retired" if from gaming and I use it to type, listen to music and watch some videos in my room and it works fine when it actually boots, no blue screen or anything. But sometimes (and today it got stuck once for all) this old pc keeps failing to boot, auto reseting and never going anywhere.
This video shows the situation. Lights are on but it interrupts boot and restarts just to fail again. Booting it is similar to a roullete, once it works, the pc works normally. The funniest part is that when it boots, I can leave it on all day, and it shall work fine anytime that I wish. I can even put on "sleep" and turn it back fine. The issue is that "perma boot loop"... It really looks like an old pulling cord from an outboard motor that takes time to start but once it starts, it makes a reliabel boat. Hopefully, the video below shows this weird issue clearly. Any ideas on what I need to look after?

P.S.: My pc is always plugged. The battery died almost a decade ago and I decided to use it always plugged and indoors. And as I said, once it boots, I cease to have any issue... And before this year, my alienware would boot fine anytime
