Hello! To switch the PSU off and on, then plug it back in and press the case power button, I can do that whenever I want. My PC runs smoothly now—no random shutdowns or crashes. I’m still trying to figure out why this happened a month ago. If anyone has any advice, it would mean a lot. Thanks!

Recent updates? Quick startup or hybrid sleep disabled? I faced a similar problem with my FX 8300 last year using a faulty PSU (Fractal Design Edison M 550W). My system also behaved oddly—just worked when turned sideways.

Thanks for the update. The BIOS is working correctly and fast boot is disabled in both BIOS and power plan settings. Are the power supply capacitors affecting this behavior? I’m wondering if I should discharge them each time before turning on my PC. Even though it’s a high-quality PSU, I’ve seen discussions suggesting issues with PSUs or motherboards.

I changed my power supply unit to my brother's model, but it started working that evening. However, the issue persisted in the morning. I'm planning to submit a return request for my motherboard and hope it gets fixed.

You're experiencing the same problem, so it's possible the motherboard is involved. You've already tested a reliable power supply and still faced the same issue.
