Previously stable i7 9700k and new Mobo is stuck on "shutting down" screen but weirdly this is the screen the computer boots to.

So the computer turns on, posts, and then directly after boots into windows saying "shutting down". It then hangs there and never does anything else.

I have two accounts mine (admin) and a local account (wife). It looks like it's shutting down my wife's account.

HELP

when you say new mobo, did you reinstall windows when you swapped in the new motherboard? if not, this is most likely the issue. you cannot change the very heart of a pc and expect the old windows install to accommodate and adapt.

No no guys it was brand new hardware. New windows install. Everything great for the past 2 months no issues all drivers up to date, bios up to date, windows up to date.

I7 9700k, gtx 1070ti, 16gb 3200, 1 nvme hard drive. 750 bronze psu, z390x elite aorus mb



Anyways I turned the PC on and off a few times with forced shut down at the post stage and now everything is working.

Trying to figure out what the problem was so it doesn't happen again.

Windows is perfectly fine no integrity issues or errors.
Was this just a freak problem?!?!
