PC not shutting off - Windows 10

My PC will not stay shut down. It will power off, but then a second later it just clicks on automatically again. I've never had this problem with windows 10 before, it only started about 6 months after building my new PC. This has been an issue for probably almost a year, but I leave my PC on a lot so never bothered to deal with it. There was a time when, after it'd restart to the login screen, it would shut down successfully from there, but for months now even that isn't working. If I want to power off my PC I have to hold the power button and I'm worried that's not good for it. I've googled this issue and tried pretty much all the recommended fixes but nothing has worked. I feel like I need to reinstall Windows 10 at this point but I'm starting to wonder if this is actually a hardware issue, like my mobo is crap (so sorry if this is actually in the wrong forum). It's a daily occurrence that I randomly get the Windows notification sound by itself with nothing to indicate why. If anybody has more ideas to fix, or how to determine if it's a hardware issue I'm all ears. Whatever the case I feel like this is going to be a pita to fix. Kinda want to get another mobo and a quieter psu anyway... My PC specs:

 

11700k (never oc'd)

MSi B560M Mortar wifi

MSi Ventus 3080ti

32gb 3600mhz ram

1TB Crucial P5 Plush M.2

750W psu Super Flower

holding down the power button is not bad for the PC.

My First PC
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f gaming
RAM: 4x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RS (3200 MHz, CL16)
Storage: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Graphics Card: Asus Dual RTX 2060 OC
Case: Deepcool Matrexx 50
Power Supply: Corsair RM650x
Headset: Razer Blackshark V2
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Pro Mini (Speed Silver switches)
Mouse: Razer Viper Mini
Only changes I have made is I sold the 2060 for $235 AUD and bought a Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT for $400 second hand (it was barely used, think I scored a deal on Ebay with that).
I'm learning video editing and trying to get some cash as a high school student.
I like F1, my favourite team is Scuderia Ferrari and favourite driver is Charles Leclerc. Favourite track is Red Bull Ring in Austria.
Playing with a 1080p 60hz monitor right now, hoping to upgrade to a 1440p 144hz one soon.

Living in AU and that pisses me off since every event is late at night or early in the morning (almost every F1 race starts around 11 PM AEST time)
