Like the titel says, my computer reboots instead of shutting down, but I can turn it off by pressing the startbutton 4 secs. (I usually turn it off with the PSUbutton)

Hardware:
X570 Auros Elite motherboard with bios version F40d, and newest AMD chipset drivers.
RX 5800X
Seasonic Focus GX-850
XFX SWFT 309 RX 6700 XT, newest driver.
G.Skill TridentZ neo DDR4 4000 (F4-4000C18D-32GTZN) 2x16GB
2XSamsung 980 PRO 1TB NVME
1XSamsung 960 EVO 1TB SSD
Windows 11 Pro, 24H2

It has been like this for 6 months now...

I have reinstalled w11 three times.
I have turned off fast startup, hibernation.
I have also tried without anything connected, except keyboard, 4 different ones, and nothing else connected than a screen, tried 3 different ones there also, both DP and HDMI,
I have unplugged everything inside, and cleaned connectors everywhere, so I have unplugged the gfxcard and tried with another, the disks, and tried with another, the USBconnecctors inside, the frontpanelwires, tried different memorysticks, you name it, I have done it....

Pls point me in the right direction?

Clear CMOS / update BIOS? Faulty motherboard? 100% certain you've got the case cables (power / reset switch, power LED etc.) connected to the motherboard header correctly?

Do you have an HP printer on the network? Jays2cents did a video about his HP printer sending constant wake-on-lan requests to one of his PCs.

I replaced the powerswitch, ordered it from Be Quiet.

I have cleared cmos, reflashed bios, in case of corruption, and removed the battery for 24h, and, yes, I have disconnected every contact on the mobo, and reconnected them, several times....

What happens if you press Alt+F4 (while on desktop) and select "Shut down" from the drop down menu (and then click "Ok" or press "Enter")...?

I always turn off my PC this way, many years now.
