Issues arise during shutdown or reboot of the system.
You're experiencing unusual shutdown behavior where your PC appears to shut down normally but fails to enter the startup screen after a reboot. The hardware components like mouse, keyboard, and fans remain active, yet the system doesn't boot properly. When you force a restart via Windows Update, it triggers a shutdown sequence but freezes on the startup menu instead of loading the bootloader. You're considering a BIOS flash, but you're unsure whether your motherboard supports this or if another solution is needed.
