New install with new Radeon 7800XT, PC won't shutdown fully or restart

Maybe try disabling the watchdog

Edit: I see this in the log.

Sep 11 14:00:27 sp4rkr4t-PC kernel: watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
Sep 11 14:00:27 sp4rkr4t-PC systemd-shutdown[1]: Using hardware watchdog 'SP5100 TCO timer', version 0, device /dev/watchdog0
Sep 11 14:00:27 sp4rkr4t-PC systemd-shutdown[1]: Watchdog running with a timeout of 10min.

So try this:

/etc/modprobe.d/disable-sp5100-watchdog.conf

add

blacklist sp5100_tco
