Device powered on after connecting and removing the USB port.
I designed this setup in July 2022, acquiring all components around that period except the case from 2015. My machine includes: CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K, motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4, audio specs, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, RGB cooler, power supply, and storage. I used Windows 10 Pro with a BIOS upgrade to Windows 11. Temperature stays near 20°C. The case arrived in 2015; it’s Fractal Design Define R5 mid-tower. This build is my sixth together with a friend. Problems include: frequent shutdowns after connecting peripherals, random reboots, inability to boot from BIOS without issues, and inconsistent startup behavior. I’ve tried resetting via Windows, changing power supplies, checking connections, and even swapping RAM and drives. Despite these efforts, the issue persists, especially when USB is used. I’m unsure if a simple fix will work or if further hardware changes are needed.
