Apparently I fixed it by turning the PSU off and on again. So, some sort of weird momentary BIOS issue - probably a remnant of my Mem OC attempts. I think I gonna stay away from Memory overclocking for the time being. That messed a few things up pretty good. Fortunately doesn't seem to have broken things permanently but a bit too close for comfort for my taste.

After some memory overclocking attempts my Windows 10 doesn't want to shutdown my system via the power button anymore. Correct settings in the energy settings of Windows 10 and I already tried sfc/ scannow as well as reflashing the BIOS. Bit annoying since that was the main way I shut down the system. System Specs including the motherboard are in my signature.

I know, that's what I meant with energy settings - it's configured to shut down the system - doesn't work anymore, though.
