This started around 1 year ago. My motherboard is a Biostar N68S3B, and my CPU is an AMD Athlon II x2 250. My OS is Windows 10 and I haven't changed/reinstalled it for around 1 year.
Ever since then I had to press the button 2-3 times for it to turn on, sometimes just 1 press was enough though. It didn't seem like something critical so I just let it like that. But recently something weird happened. I turned off my PC, the screen went black but then the PC restarted. I tried turning it off multiple times but the same thing happened. Out of ideas I unplugged the PC so it would turn off. Next day the PC started normally, but when turning the PC off, the screen turned off faster than usual, but the PC was still working and my mouse was also working(the lights were on). It turned off in like 30 seconds after the screen did. It has been like that ever since. Is this a motherboard issue or is it an OS issue? If I recall correctly this happened after an Windows update. Also, will this motherboard last 3-4 years more if looked after correctly?(I've never OC'd the CPU and won't plan to).
