After the power is completely removed, I typically can then get the system to boot normally on the next attempt. If that isn’t weird enough, I’ve found that the system will NOT boot normally again until I first use the power supply’s switch (or unplug the main power). The system will remain in this dangerous loop state until I intervene either by holding down the power button for 5+ seconds for a hard-off or by throwing the power switch on the power supply itself.

Nothing ever appears on the screen though while in this loop. On power-up the system is getting into some kind of infinite power cycle loop where I can see the motherboard lights, fans and power supply respond only then to make a clicking sound, presumably from the power supply, and then hard-reset itself. I’ve built many systems before but I’ve never seen this specific issue develop in an otherwise stable system:Ħ-months in, suspiciously immediately after my first “Gigabyte APP Center” pop-up update via Windows, my system has developed a power-on error.
