Windows 10: Windows 10 PC Freezes and requires a hard reset pressing power button before working again

Sometimes my PC will freeze to the point where I can no longer press any buttons or open any new pages including task manager, but my mouse still moves. I can't press the reset button because I can't click to open it. When I hard reset and reboot my PC, the USB for my audio device is no longer recognized and I have to unplug and re-plug it in before it functions again. How do I prevent this issue from occurring again?

Reset Button Not Working

Hi,
Exactly what tittle says. That's been bugging me for a while now but I couldn't find any information related to the issue so I just ignored it.
Today I had to use the button to reset because I messed up doing something and system froze. Well like always before I force shut down I try to reset but it never works.
This is exactly what happens: I press the reset button then the system pretends to be restarting but it never boots, no beeps no image or anything and thats it.
Been using power button restart if system freezes.
Checked the connections in the motherboard and everything is correctly connected.
Could it be some option in the bios ?

Thanks

 

Reset Button Not Working

Well just to be 100% sure I rechecked the connections and its properly connected. Did some testing and found out that it will only reset if I press it twice like: press it once wait like 10 seconds and press again. That way system will reset and boot.
Also tried to reset right after system boots (before windows loads) and it resets with a single press.
After windows loads gotta press it twice like I explained.
Oh and by the way, my motherboard as 2 onboard switches (power and reset) and it does exactly the same if I use the onboard switch.

 

When the Power button is Pressed Pc turns on then Off again.

Power on switch sounds to have a fault. Sometimes when they start to go the contact plates can stick when you press the button.

Unplug the power switch header, And plug the reset switch into the power on header. Then start again using the reset switch as the on button. If it clears the fault then it's time to buy a new switch (or just keep using the reset switch).

Don't be tempted to plug the power switch into the reset header as it may cause constant resets if it is the fault.

The later in boot restarts could still be the switch, It depends on the switch and what's wrong with it. If there is a loose contact plate then movement on that plate could cause soft restarts in windows, or hard restarts before windows has got up. Rule out the basic before you spend money.
