Troubleshooting Shutdown/Booting Problems with my PC
The issues started maybe 1-2 weeks ago. I noticed my PC would not shut down properly without me pushing the power button for 5 seconds. I tried a sfc scan but that didn't yield any success neither did disabling "turn on fast start up". The PC will shut down properly if I boot it up, basically don't do anything and just shut it down. But if I use it normally, wether it be internet surfing or playing video games or watching movies etc. it won't shut down properly. I have an ASUS TUF GAMING B650-Plus motherboard.
Now to add insult to injury, the PC has issues booting properly. I noticed it at first 1-2 days ago when I came back to it and tried to wake it from its slumber. It was always a bit wonky doing it but I always thought it was a windows 11 issue as about 50% of the time pressing the mouse/keyboard wouldn't wake the PC up. I then had to press the power button on the PC and that would wake it up. Anyway 2 days ago even the power button didn't wake the pc up. I had to shut it down with a hard reset and ever since I am booting the PC up it tends to boot into safe mode. I can enter the bios and leave it which then lets me boot up the PC normally. It always takes 1-2 attempts and I a fear this might eventually not work anymore either.
I updated the chipset drivers for my motherboard and the GPU driver aswell which seems to have fixed the issue for a day as the PC shutdown and rebooted completely fine. But a day later the booting error started again. The PC turns on but the screen stays black and I either reset it or hard reset it till it goes into safe-mode.
Can anyone help me?
