I was playing Forza Horizon 4 when suddenly the game completely froze. The DRAM LED on my ASUS ROG STRIX B-450 F motherboard was lit. The PC will not turn off after pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds (all other methods won’t work to shutdown the PC either) What should I do? Is it safe to pull the plug?

NOTE: My PC is plugged into a power strip.

Disconnect from the wall outlet and display and then remove the CMOS battery, replace it after 30 mins and see if powering the system up changes what you're seeing. On a side note, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

Please list your specs to the build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Sig space specs can and will change over time, which will make this thread and any possible solutions irrelevant to any user in the same boat as you(are in now). Include the age of the PSU if it's been in service for a while.
