When I try to restart or sleep my pc, it completely shuts down and I can't re-open it even with power button unless I unplug and re-plug the power cable. It also happes when I try to shut my pc down, I can't re-open it unless I do the same thing.

Also with all 3 actions, I hear a click when the shut down process ends. It sound something like the power cuts off but the power LED on the motherboard stay on.

I have an Asus Z170-K motherboard with i5-7500, 700W PSU, a single 8GB RAM, GTX 1060 6gb and a 1tb HDD.

This has started recently. I didn't have this problem before. What may be the problem? Can someone help please?
 


I've only found 1 person and tryied to give it a go and it worked. That was stupid AF.
