I noticed a short circuit or power button issue that triggers the PSU to shut down. I remember from P6T Deluxe v2 there was a shorting button that caused this behavior after a few updates. If it’s an immediate shutdown problem, it should be resolvable. I’ve had experience with a similar case where I fully discharged and cleaned the board with water to fix the issue—though I didn’t use isopropyl since it didn’t help in that scenario. This method might sound unusual, but removing all board components and checking for dust under the board, especially by clearing the CMOS, can work. After a short rest, give it a few hours, then submerge the board in water to flush out any remaining debris. Rinse with running water first if possible, avoid water going over the socket, wait about an hour, then dry thoroughly—ideally for a couple of days in a hot environment. If it works, the board should be functional again.
