Can you help diagnose?

I need some help narrowing down what the issue might be and I'm hoping some of you have some experience with this. I have an m17 r5 with the 6900hx and 3070 ti. I am experiencing a reboot loop where the fans will spin ups for a second or two shut off and do that a few times. At times I can get into the bios and I have been successful at getting to the diagnostics and running the full spectrum and it tells me that everything is working correctly. I have been unsuccessful at getting an OS installed because each time I try it will reboot after a few seconds on the alienware screen. Im concerned its a power rail issue (knowing these particular models are known for these issues) but im hoping some of you have some other ideas to try before I start poking around with a multimeter.

I have tried many things to include: powering on with AC and battery only and randomly reboots. On battery only it cannot get to bios.

I've tried all the basic stuff of taking things out and resting as well so its not RAM either.
