Ensure your system stays active without forcing a shutdown.
Ensure your system stays active without forcing a shutdown.
My computer remains inactive with only a black screen until I force shut it down for five seconds, after which it restarts normally. I suspect an issue with the operating system, so I switched from Windows 10 to Linux (EndeavourOS). Despite this change, the operating system problem continues. I've also reset the BIOS but haven't had success. An interesting observation is that restarting or shutting down the PC and turning it on within an hour works without issues. The problem seems to occur if the machine isn't powered on for at least a day. Pressing the power button starts the PC, but the internal display doesn't appear until I hold it for five seconds or more before pressing again to turn it on. Please note the machine has been functioning well for at least two-thirds of its lifespan, and no hardware modifications were made before this issue arose. Thank you in advance!
