Windows 10: Issue with SSD after power flickered and caused PC to lose power momentarily

My PC lost power momentarily during a power flicker caused during a storm.Afterwards, my PC initially would not boot Windows and was stuck in a boot loop. It would either get stuck in the boot process, or could not get passed "Preparing Automatic Repair". After about and hour and a half of troubleshooting, hard resets, and waiting for things to load, while my PC was off, I unplugged my 4TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD not my boot drive and turned on my PC and everything booted up just fine. I then shut my PC down the correct way through Windows, plugged the SSD back in, and proceeded to turn my PC on

power issue

Hello,

Most of the time, this issue is caused by external devices that are possibly keeping the PC active which then results in the screen/display not turning off even after you've set the power settings. Try disconnecting any external devices, usually gaming devices,
and check if the issue persists.

We also suggest running the Power troubleshooter to automatically troubleshoot any power issue. Just follow the steps below:

• Click on Search/Cortana, and then type Troubleshooting.
  
• Click on Troubleshooting.
  
• Click on System and Security.
  
• Click on Power.

Let us know if that worked out for you.

 

PC losing power

Hallo,

I made a new PC with the following components:

PSU: Seasonic G12 GM-850 850W

RAM: Corsair 32 GB DDR5-5600 Kit

SSD: SAMSUNG 980 PRO, 1 TB SSD

Motherbord: ASUS PRIME X670-P

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X

When i bought al the components, i was waiting for the new AMD GPU Radeon 7900xtx to release.

But for a month, i installed my old GPU in the system. a nvidia rtx 2070 super.

With the nvidia GPU everything was working fine. but i just installed the AMD 7900 xtx when my problem started.

On low intensity usage, everything is fine. but when i play some high demanding games my PC can completely lose power.

Sometimes this happens instantly, sometimes it could take 10 min, sometimes an hour.

It doesn't auto restart. other devices still have power when this happens.

Pushing the power button after shut down normaly doesn't work. i have to pull out the power cable and reconnect it to power up

I checked CPU and GPU temps, everything looks fine. all fans are spinning so i don't think it is a thermal issue.

Could it be a problem with my PSU? and how could i check/fix it?
