You were asked to restart your PC for Windows updates, and after doing so it shut down. The RAM display remains active, but the fans aren’t running, and the power button isn’t responding. What should you try next?
To reset the CMOS on a B550 tomahawk, you can remove the battery for a few minutes or use a CMOS reset tool. Regarding the PSU: turning it off during Windows updates isn't inherently risky, but ensure your system is stable before proceeding. Always follow manufacturer guidelines.
It's similar to getting a discount already. The most likely outcome is entering the recovery period, after which Windows will fix itself before you can use your PC again. In your situation, I wouldn't expect that to happen, so it should be fine. Remove the CR2032 battery and let it sit for a while. I don't recall needing to modify any pins on the MB, but taking the battery out is definitely a helpful action.
I immediately spotted my grammar mistake, but I couldn’t locate a way to fix it. I was scared my computer would be permanently damaged. Now I’m actually calm thanks haha.
