I don't know what is going on.
I posted in the AMD chipset drivers thread but now the situation has got drastically worse.
This is what I posted in the chipset drivers thread the other day:
"
I've noticed something weird and theorise it could be related to the power plan.
Let me lay out the time line of events.
On my x370 board with a 3700x I updated the bios to the latest AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b when Asus released it. I was on Windows 11 H1 at the time.
I started getting weird shutdown issues. Where either after pressing shutdown in windows it would either not shut down and just stay turned on with a blank screen or the pc would reboot!
I informed Asus about this thinking it was something related to the latest bios as that's when it started happening but heard no response.
I also had a theory it could be related to the usb as the issue would usually happen if I turned the pc on for a few mins to plug in a usb transfer some files and then shutdown.
They eventually released a new bios based on the AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.7.
Fortunately all the issues went away.
Fast forward to the release of Win 11 H2 and the issues came back again.
So now I thought it must be related to something to do with windows.
I googled around and a lot of suggestions to disable in the bios fast startup. Alas this did not help at all.
All this time I have been using the Ryzen Balanced Power plan as it is the one we should be using if we have a 3000 series chip.
I have since switched the power plan the windows balanced one and so far haven't had any issues shutting down the pc.
Still too early to tell if the power plan was the issue but so far so good over the last few days.
"
I tried disabling fast boot as a lot of the internet suggests and that did nothing.
I thought my issue could be related to my hdd as well. I noticed that as the disks powered down it would sometimes put the pc in to stand by mode but nothing would wake the pc.
I eventually got fed up and decided to remove from the pc the unused hdd.
Still I found I was not able to shut the pc down with just one of the disk installed.
I decided to reinstall windows 11. However I am now unable to do even this, the pc will reboot spontaneously on its own during the windows 11 set up.
I thought it might be the ram unstable at DOCP 3200MHz so I put it back to stock, but the same issue remains.
So now its down to mobo, PSU or even the cpu is on the the way out.
I suppose most likely culprit is the PSU.
What do you think?
PSU is old, maybe 10 years but it has been going strong.

So basically it started with me being unable to shut down the pc, now I can't even install windows as the pc is rebooting during the setup process.
(But it stayed on long enough to download wndows as I choose to reset via the web method)
