Why my Gaming PC Shuts Down itself and Starts Again After I Unplugged USB 2.0 Network Adapter?
Hi
Something unexpected happened to my PC and I’m getting really worried.
Three hours ago, I pressed the power button and Windows 11 started working, but then it froze. The mouse and keyboard stopped responding, and I couldn’t open Task Manager or restart the system even with alt+ctrl+delete.
Later, when I unplugged my USB 2.0 Network Adapter from the case, the PC shut down completely. All components—RAM, CPU cooler, graphics card—disappeared, and then it restarted on its own.
I’m unsure what’s wrong and am concerned about the damage.
Could anyone help me understand what’s going on?
