Specs:
Board: Asus Tuf Gaming B550-PLUS
CPU: R9 5900X
SSD: WD Blue SN570 1TB PCIe3
HDD: WD Black 8TB

PSU: Corsair RM850x
Issues from day one in Mar 2022. An issue more annoying than troublesome, has been that even with Armoury Crate set to disable the GPU and motherboard ARGB on boot, both cycle rainbow after shutdown unless the PSU rocker switch is turned off.
More problematic, were infrequent random crashes, fail to wake from sleep mode, no-video boot every 8-12 cold starts. Issues seemed to go away replacing the original Ballistix kit used with the current Patriot kit. Has run well in the four months since, though I rarely shut down or restart, enabling sleep mode when not in use. But about a month or so ago, failed to wake from Windows sleep.
Today, the power failed. UPS caught it. Did a safe shutdown and killed the power completely to prevent a surge. After power was restored, it again started up with no video. Hard shutdown via power switch. BIOS forced me to run setup on power-up, where I found the date reset to 1/1/2019 (board was manufactured 1/2022?). Isn't the CMOS battery supposed to maintain this?
After thinking awhile, the following occurred to me.
If the board and GPU's ARGB are cycling on shutdown, that would suggest the rails for PCIe 6+2 and 4+4 CPU power are staying live after the PC shuts down. Is this power supply supposed to supply 4+4 and 6+2 after shutdown? Doesn't seem right to me, and it would explain some things.
Because I can see where if the CPU power and GPU power never turn off, the card would never fully power down and reset, which might prevent re-establishing communication between it and the board, explaining the no-video start. The memory likely only exacerbated this. And what is up with the system date resetting even with the CMOS battery installed?
