Pressing the power button activates the PC, yet it fails to shut down properly.
Pressing the power button activates the PC, yet it fails to shut down properly.
Your computer's power button seems stuck in the on position. It worked before you unplugged the power switch, but after touching the pins with a screwdriver, it started working again. When you plugged the power switch back in and tried to turn it off, the button didn't shut it down properly. This could be due to a faulty switch or internal issue—consider checking the power cable, testing the switch, or consulting a technician.
I don't have Windows set up yet since my GPU and storage are still functional. Right after installing the CPU, the system would shut down and restart normally. Now that I've connected both power switch pins with a screwdriver, it won't turn off unless I disconnect the power supply. I can only power it back on using the power button, not by switching the switch.
You seem to be testing the system without the necessary components. Just clear the CMOS, then wait for the parts, install them, and finally power it on to set up Windows. Without proper hardware, your actions won't have any effect.
