Recently, my computer began shutting down abruptly and wouldn't power on for about two minutes. After that, it would restart normally. Initially, I encountered a secure boot violation error, which prevented my drives and USBs from booting. Eventually, I switched Windows UEFI to another OS, which allowed me to access the USB drive. I installed Windows 11 but noticed no drives present. After wiping everything and reinstalling, the drives appeared again. Once I reinstalled Windows, everything seemed fine. However, during gameplay, the issue recurs occasionally. The PC operates without overheating, and there are faint clicks when it powers off, though I’m unsure if that matters. I suspect a PSU problem—perhaps a fan attempting to start up—but I’m not sure. Could you help fix this or do I need to replace parts?

I just discovered that when that click happens, i can power on again. I also think i might've gotten hacked or something because my bios settings were.... different. Like intel rapid storage turned itself on. Xmp enabled, i mean it was before but by default it isn't. It also asked for sysyem clock. These things shouldn't be enabled by default. The temps might be a little bad but i don't think they are too high to cause any effect. I mean its just about 50c cpu in bios and mobo is like 40c
