Question Displays disconnect then PC wont turn off

I've been having an issue with my computer the past few weeks and I'm unsure what is causing it.
Basically the monitors will "disconnect" (The screens turn black but the lights on the monitor indicate they went into power save mode). When I move the mouse or press keys on the keyboard it doesn't wake up or do anything. When I try to shut off the computer using the power button on the PC, it does nothing. pressing, holding, even the restart button does nothing.
In the end I have to unfortunately flip the power switch on the PSU.

While this has happened, I tried connecting the motherboards' HDMI to my monitor to see if it was my graphics card but no luck.

I have updated my graphics card and windows 10.

my Specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1600x 3.6GHz 6-Core
CPU cooler - be quiet! Dark Rock 4
MB - ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F Gaming ATX AM4
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2x8gb) DDR4-3200
Storage1 - WD Blue 500 GB 2.5" SSD (OS on this drive)
Storage2 - Toshiba 3.5" 7200rpm HD
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB WindForce OC 6g
Case - Fractal Design Meshify C ATX (Only posting this because I love this case)
PSU - EVGA BQ 500W 80+ Bronze semi-modular ATX
OS - Windows 10 PRO

Also Note:
There is no BSOD or any notifications

I really don't want to wipe my SSD and reinstall windows if i have to but I've done it before and I can do it again.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
If you need any more data let me know!

I don't know how to edit a post on here but, I wiped my drive that had windows 10 pro on it and reinstalled and haven't had any issues yet. I'm assuming it had to do with my drivers and/or bad files in windows.
