I've been having this frustrating issue with my desktop computer where it goes into standby mode randomly. Here are the specs: I'm using an ASUS GL12CP NR069T with Windows 11 Home, an Intel i7-8700, 32GB of RAM, an Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU, and a 720W Argus PSU. Everything is brand new and compatible, so I'm puzzled. The PC can run demanding games for hours without a problem; however, it might just go into standby while I'm browsing low-effort web pages, which makes no sense. I've tried checking the BIOS settings, adjusting power settings, and performing diagnostics, yet nothing seems to work. The system logs don't show any indication of what's causing this either. Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?

Just a heads up, messing around in BIOS can lead to data loss if not done carefully. Backup your important data first before making significant changes. It’s easy to overlook that!
Have you tried booting your PC with just one RAM stick installed? If it still goes into standby, switch to another stick and see if the problem persists. Sometimes faulty RAM can cause random shutdowns or standbys. Also, it’s possible the power switch itself might be faulty, so check that too.
It might be worth revisiting your Nvidia drivers. Some users have reported similar issues after updates, so completely uninstalling the current Nvidia drivers and reinstalling them might help resolve any conflicts. Make sure to remove every trace of the old drivers before reinstalling.
