Very, very old member coming back for some community advice to see if anyone has any words of wisdom..
I built a system about a year ago (Ryzen 5 3600, Asus TUF X570 PLUS board, 32 GB of g.Skill RAM, Asus 1650 SUPER, 1 GB M.2, EVGA 750GS power supply with the right extra pins for the 570 power requirements) that has been working great up until about two weeks ago. I was working fine and then it powered itself off. I turned it back on and it came up for ~5 mins, then powered down again. This keeps happening, even powering down when sitting in the BIOS screen, so I know it's not Windows.
Since then I have...
After the computer turns itself off there are some things left on - i.e. the RGB on the RAM stays lit. Power button does nothing. I have to flip the power switch on the PSU off and back on, then power it back on with the case power switch to start it back up.
I really don't want to update the BIOS - If it powers down in the middle of the process I'm dead meat, but I'm not sure how long that takes with an X570. The BIOS is still what it shipped with and there are many updates.
Thoughts on next steps? Thanks for your help from a (very!) old Anandtech member.

Since then I have...
- Replaced the video card with one I know is good (which, oddly enough, brought the PC back to life for about 4 days)
- Replaced the PSU with a brand new one
- Verified that all of the PSU outputs looked normal in the BIOS - All perfect.
- Checked all of the connections to make sure nothing was loose
- Booted one one stick of RAM, and then the other.
- Used a different power cable, connected to a different outlet
- Powered it up with nothing connected but a single monitor. (Not even keyboard or mouse)
- Verified the temps and fan speeds in BIOS - CPU is at ~50 degrees when it powered off. All fans were running fine.
