Z690m + 14600k - cannot shut down

[tuz]

I’m building a computer with a Z690M AORUS ELITE AX DDR4 and a 14600k. Its cooled with a peerless assassin SE running W11

All works well. However, I cannot shut the system down; it only resets.

I have upgraded and downgraded the BIOS, disabled fast start, disabled restart on failure, changed RAM around & different RAM, reinstalled Windows and tried different PSUs, turned off wake on LAN, reset the CMOS
the issue still exists.

It really got me stumped. I also have a B760m with a 13600k, and it never had any issues when I built it.

is there anything else I can test before I contact gigabyte?
