I booted into Windows 10 on my newly built computer which has been working fine for several days. I left home for a little while and put it into sleep mode. When I came back, the light on the side of my case which indicates that the computer is sleeping was flashing, as it should have been. I pressed the space key to try waking the computer and nothing happened -- strange, I thought. The light kept flashing. I pushed the power button to wake it. Nothing. I figured that if I turned it off, I could reboot and get back to work. I held the power button for five or ten seconds -- the light on it indicating that the computer was sleeping just kept flashing. I then pulled the power cable and the light kept flashing for a few seconds, before stopping. I plugged the cable back in and pushed the power button -- nothing.
This is happening with the MSI B450-A Pro motherboard.
I figure that the computer thinks, for some reason, that it is still in sleep mode, even though I think that it should be powered off. I tried taking the CMOS battery out and resetting it that way, but when I put the battery back in and tried rebooting the computer, nothing changed. The power supply seems to be working correctly -- I've tested it. Is there some way that I can fix this?
EDIT: Whenever I want to turn on the PC, if I turn off the PSU and then hold the power button for ten seconds or so, then turn the PSU back on and press the power button, it works. How can I get rid of this behavior and just have the system power on when I push the power button?
