did this just happen all of a sudden? Did you spill any liquid or mess with anything inside

Perhaps it's overheating? Are the fans louder than normal?

My PC had the same problem. It disappeared when I performed a CMOS-reset. Such a reset is very easy to do. I would recommend looking up the procedure in the motherboard manual of your computer.

It’s often a matter of switching a jumper for a few seconds and putting it back.

Alternatively you can remove the motherboard’s battery for a few minutes.

This operation should not mess up your computer, all it does is resetting the motherboard to its default settings. That being said, I still recommend looking up the procedure in the motherboard manual of your computer.
