Heya folks, as the title says, my PC has for quite some time refused to restart.
On the tower is a restart button next to the power button, and that shuts the PC off and USED to restart the PC.
Restarting from the Windows Start menu also worked back then.
Now what happens is the following: The PC turns off, all signals to mouse, keyboard, screen is turned off.
The PC never turns off, but continues to buzz lowly, in this slumber-like state as if absolutely no programs are running on it, of course, because there aren't.
Then I hold the power button down, turning the PC off, and turn it back on, and it works as if it was a restart.
I've tried letting it run like this for 24 hours before when I ran experiments, and it always kept itself in this continuous slumber state.
I'm putting this thread in the motherboard section because today I put in a new SSD, with a new clean slate of Windows 10, and the problem is still there.
Of course I have survived for at least 3 years with this, but it's gotten really tedious with forced windows updates that restart your PC.
I'm hoping you can help me out.
My wife told me that I should expect to be questioned thourougly by y'all because you're really into this, however, I must warn you, I'm not exactly techy myself- maybe a lot more than your average user, but no where near as experienced as you guys.
I also realize that I might as well tell you what motherboard I have right away.
Z87-G45 GAMING (MS-7821) (SOCKET 0)
From MSI is what Speccy tells me.
If you can fix this problem for me, I'll buy you a beer or a coffee on paypal.
