PC Won't Shut Down

Hey - I'm having a recent issue where my PC won't shut down or restart. The graphics card shuts down as the monitors lose signal and I hear the hard disks spining down. However any RGB in the case (including RAM) and all the fans stay active. I have to hold the power button to power down after that.

Any suggestions / advice?

Nope that did nothing - tried a shutdown.

Yep it's win10. Tried it twice - second time a troubleshooting menu appeared and I selected Power Off and that still hung. Should I have selected another option?

Curious, just to revive this but did you get to the bottom of it?

I had a similar issue which turned out to be a faulty GPU. Exactly as you describe, wouldn't shut down or restart, swapped out the GPU and all was as it should be.

Oh blimey - I guess we’ll find out at 3070 launch!
