New 20.04 install hangs on re-boot

ua flag

I have two new 20.04.3 installs (Ubuntu-MATE) on a newly built desktop workstation. One is on a 2.5-inch SSD, the other on an nvme SSD.

If I do a "Restart" from either, it appears as if a restart will happen, but it just hangs.

The computer does not restart, does not shut down, it just goes black, and I have to press the reset button.

The same thing happens if I make any change in the UEFI/BIOS settings. When I save the changes, there is no shutdown and no reboot, just a hang, and I have to press the reset button.

(The motherboard's Q-codes, after quickly flashing through a bunch of numbers & letters, just go back to "AA" during the attempted reboot, indicating nothing useful.)

The motherboard is Asus ROG Crosshair Hero VIII (WiFi); kernel 5.11.0-37, AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT CPU; GPU is Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060, Nvidia driver 470.63.01.

Would anyone have a clue as to where I might start troubleshooting for this?

I'll provide more info re my system if needed.

SOLVED: I removed the CMOS battery on the motherboard, waited one minute, and put it back in. Problem solved.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
