Basically, title. My gaming PC runs just fine. No issues whatsoever while gaming. It posts 100% of the time, every time. No other issues that I can tell. Just that fact that it will absolutely refuse to reboot. When I use "Shut Down" from the start menu, it works normally. System shuts itself down then the hardware turns off. However when I use "Restart" what happens is the PC goes through the process like it should, then the display goes off and it hangs. It will not start coming back on. All of the fans continue to spin indefinitely. Motherboard, CPU cooler, case fans, all of them. I've left it like that for like 40 minutes before and it just hangs. From that point I press the power button once and it turns off. Press it again and it boots normally and runs and games perfectly fine. Same goes for any kind of Windows update that restarts after like 30%. It will get that far, go to restart itself then hang. I manually shut it down with the power button and when it comes back it continues installing.
I bought this PC secondhand from someone I went to high school with. Initially he mentioned he had the same problem with it at first and ended up fixing it in BIOS messing with the settings, but couldn't remember which one. I've since lost touch with him and have no idea how to get in contact either.
Installed BIOS is the latest 4801 from here;

Here's a couple of YouTube videos of an overview of the X79 BIOS settings (heavily outdated BIOS version, but I can't find anything newer);

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it, I'm at my wits' end here. I need to get this figured out. Thanks in advance...
