Can't power off PC

[GeorgieMax]

I have my pc for 7 months and 2 months ago my pc started freezing entirely and unable to shutdown after being idle for some time, i cant shutdown even with the power button of my PC case, i have to force-shutdown by holding the power button on my PC case

Also, when i try to shutdown the pc after it been idle for some time the pc starts to freeze, the freezing appears partly(programs and parts of the system) and then entirely and then it shutdowns

 

It started happening without any reason, the Windows files are not corrupted, i tried to reinstall Windows and it still happens, the same Windows was installed to my Brother's PC and everything is ok, so its a hardware problem, but which hardware?

 

All windows updates are installed and gpu drivers are the latest

 

Also, my system isnt as responsive as it should be and i have changed from HDD to SSD but no difference, i have issues with games but not so serious, im more concerned about the shutdown issue and the freezing that wont let me use the pc normally

 

My specs:

 

Ryzen 5 2600

GTX 1650S

SSD WD BLUE 500GB

RAM 16GB 2X8 HYPERX FURY 3200MHZ

PS GIGABYTE P650B

 

My ssd is 100% good in CrystalDiskInfo and meets the promised speeds of 540 read / ~540 write in CrystalDiskMark

It doesnt have any problems with loading stuff

 

And also, my pc takes much more time to post than before that and context menu in windows explorer takes a second to appear but in my brother's pc its instant even though he has way worse specs

try holding down the power button on your pc, it worked for me

you might have to boot into safe mode

same here, whenever I launch a game other then among us or superheat at 1440p, it just freezes and I have hold it down

what you could try is maybe take out your cpu and put it back in, do that with your gpu, or take out and put back in your boot drive, if that doesnt work, you might have to boot into safe mode as a last resort

Have you tried to turn off the power button on the PSU and then hold down the power button on the case, then turn the power on the PSU back on and power the PC on. This clears all of the power out of the computer. This worked for me.

I dont, but will it help me?

I did get off the power cable from the psu many times while doing stuff inside the pc, inspecting, changing hard drives, sata cables and stuff

What problem did u have?

But it all worked fine for many months, but i think i heard a weird buzz sound when i put the power cable into the power supply 2 months ago when i got it from Computer Service that told me everything is okay but didnt check anything, but the symptoms appeared a week or two weeks later after that, i just didnt see anything else that was weird

Could be a possible PSI or Motherboard issue.

the switch on the back of the PSU- turn it off, then push the power button on the PC, and then turn the PSU back on and power on the PC.

 

I was getting blue screens, black screens, and freezing.

PSU?

I have a feeling its the motherboard too

Or could it be something that is causing it to post longer and not to shutdown?

Possibly either GPU or CPU? One of which or even both running at lower clockspeeds then they should be at.
