My PC has suddenly started shutting down abruptly when I click shut down via the start menu.

 

In the attached video (had to be cropped for the file size) my pc takes about 10 seconds from clicking shut down in the start menu, where the fans ramp up in RPM, the hard drive can be heard bleeping, then in suddenly shuts down, with a weird sort of whining noise at the end.

 

Doesn't seem like too much of an issue, expect for the fact that my PC hasn't done this before. Usually I press shutdown, bit of a wait and it quietly shuts down without the high pitch whine at the end ornthe bleeping.

 

Curious as to what could be causing this, if it is bad for my components, and how to resolve it.?

 

Troubleshooting:

Memory checked with Windows Memory tool.

Disc health check with control panel scan.

Windows updated to latest (64bt) 

Radeon drivers updated to latest

Event viewer checked with no critical or errors after shutdown.

 

System 

Windows 10

Amd 3600 (stock)

5700xt red dragon (stock)

Auros 570x elite motherboard 

Corsair RM 750I fully modular psu

2x Western digital gard drive 1tb

1x 500bg Western digital ssd (OS)

Cooler master cpu cooler

Tbh it almost sounds like something is shorting out on your pc, however that is probably not the case.

I thought that too. But I dont have any errors in the event viewer. A bit confused by it if I'm honest 😕
