Hey folks. For some reason my computer has done this so that when ever I start shutting down my system, the entirety stays running after "Shutting down..." And the display shuts down. It's happened twice so far but with gaps of more than a few days in between but it is still worrying. I don't have the issue when I restart and attempt shutdown again within an hour so I'm kind of stumped.What all things can be responsible for all of my devices remaining lit, fans running, leds in case lit? And what can I do?

Windows 10
MSI GTX 970
EVGA SuperNOVA 650w P2 PSU
I7-6700k Intel CPU
I do not overclock.

So... does it go into sleep mode or no? Can you return to desktop by pressing ENTER or any other button when that happens?

No it does not go into sleep mode. No matter what I press the computer doesn't wake up and I either hit reset and it instantly starts from post, or hard shutdown, either way I get a kernel power error in event viewer stating that it shut down unexpectedly

At work so I can't test it yet. Looking up the issue I see many people have this issue with 10, it seems. So it's an issue on behalf of Windows? I'd hate to have to replace a part.

Well, if everything works fine while it's on and while you are doing something like gaming, then it's probably just a Windows setting preventing it from shutting down. There are still quite a few issues with W10, so this is not surprising.

Yeah I got home and turned off fast boot, it now shuts down like 4x as fast as it normally did except for the indefinite power-on I had, haha. Hopefully that's all
It took to eliminate that problem
