Whenever I try to shut down my PC I typically shut off the monitors at the same time and they're usually off before the PC is. I recently changed some hardware including my motherboard (ASROCK B650 PG Lightning), CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 7600X) and graphics card (ASROCK AMD Radeon RX 6600 Challenger 8G), and since then I've been having the issue that my PC will not shut down; some lights remain on, and sometimes it will even beep five times, seemingly indicating a problem with the GPU. I have to shut off my PC by holding the power button.

However, when I once for some reason didn't shut off the monitors when shutting down my PC, I noticed that there wasn't any issue at all and it shut down fine. I've since experimented a bit and can say with certainty now that allowing the monitors to stay on during shutdown prevents the issue.

What's going wrong here and how can I get my PC to shut down normally under all circumstances?

    It might be trying to display an error message and pausing the shutdown?

    Have you tried shutting from command line, e.g., make a shortcut to shutdown /s /t 0, or even shutdown /s /f /t 0 to force shutdown. You could also check error logs for issue.
