My PC turns off a few seconds after I select Shut down in Windows, and I hear a small click from the power supply. I only want to turn off the monitor. Is something wrong?
Is it normal for my PC to turn off when I turn off the monitor?

The Shut down option in Windows turns off the whole PC, so that part is expected. To turn off just the screen, use the physical power button on the monitor instead.
You can also set Windows to turn the display off after a period of inactivity. Check the sleep setting separately if you want the PC to stay awake.

A single small click from the power supply as the PC shuts down can be a relay switching off. On its own, that sound does not necessarily mean anything is wrong.

If the PC also shuts down when you press the physical button on the monitor, that would be a different issue from using Shut down in Windows. First check which button you're using.

Ah, I was using the Windows option. That explains it. Is the little click normal too?
