ASUS RIG STRIX X570-E Gaming Random Shutdown

[AG592]

Paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, I have this weird issue where my system would shut down without warning. I cannot turn it back on without killing the power to the board first (by flipping the switch on the power supply or plugging it out the wall). I'm not sure what exactly is giving the problem, but I'd like to think its a board issue.

The problem is most likely a random dead short, this is why you need to remove power from PSU or use the switch to reset - I would look for unused power connector touching the body of your case (as example possible source). While it is possible to be hardware, this isn't normally random.

I seen standoff screw for the motherboard used in wrong location, actually cause this issue (once) was near video card and as it heated up the additional pressure caused the dead short. I wish you luck in finding the issue, they can be annoying to locate.

Another source could be PSU is in over voltage/amp situation and is protecting itself or a defective PSU - typically these are rare given random occurrence.

Try rebuilding the system outside the case and see does the problem go away... If it STILL does it, it's not gonna be a random short as the other suggested.
