Question My PC can boot only if i unplug the PSU for about 30 seconds then plug it back again.

Recently I upgraded my pc with new motherboard- B450m Pro4 r2.0, CPU - Amd ryzen 5 5600, and 16 gb ram. I have 2 problems. Once i shut down my pc it cannot start again. I have to unplug the psu for about 30 seconds then plug it back again and it boots. My PSU is VX PLUS 600. The other problem is that my CPU temperature on idle is between 50-60 °. I updated my BIOS, nothing works.

What's the GPU? A Ryzen 5 5600 doesn't have an integrated GPU, so you would need to be using one. If you have a GPU, there's a high chance it's simply a PSU issue because this PSU is junk.

And what are the temperatures at load? Idle temperature doesn't really mean anything these days because CPUs are now basically designed to overclock themselves out of the box as the cooling allows them to.

My GPU is 1060 6gb. I assumed it might be a PSU problem but i didnt have any problems with my old parts.

When I played warzone the temperature was around 82°.

I don't know what your old parts are, so I cannot comment on that. It's a cheaply made PSU in any case, so this isn't unexpected behavior. And the CPU/GPU strain on a PSU can vary, even for similar wattage parts, because the way a CPU/GPU functions can be very different. Parts that are looking to regularly boost themselves are going to be much harder on poor-quality PSUs.

It would also be good, since there was a motherboard change, to properly wipe the OS drive and reinstall Windows, if you had not done that already. There's a reason this is considered the best practice.

The temperature is not at all concerning, unless you have a high-end cooling solution. In which case it would be underperforming, but not dangerous.

It was pretty old Asrock H81M -DGS and i5 4690. I am using the fan that comes with the CPU with no additional coolers.

The temperatures are quite normal for stock fans. Unless you manually change the behavior of the CPU -- and you should not unless you're experienced and have a better reason than idle temperature worry -- a recent AMD or Intel CPU will naturally run hotter at "idle" than a Haswell or earlier one. Heck, my office is 16 degrees right now and my server with a 3770K is idling around 25, and I never come anywhere near that in the Zen 3 with a 360mm AIO.

Thank you. I was concerned because on my old CPU i was sitting at around 38-40 degrees at idle and when i saw 60 with the new i panicked
