Something is preventing shutdown... (slrpnk.net)

Does anyone how how I can diagnose and fix this problem:

Sometimes, but not always, when shutting down the process does not actually complete and the computer does not turn off.

The screen turns off but the keyboard backlight is still responsive, the fan is still going and the power-on LED is lit. Because the screen is turned off I can't interact graphically with the computer and have to just hold down the power button and do a hard reboot.

I haven't tested it properly but I get the feeling it happens more often if I have been doing audio work.

I have had this issue with Hyprland in arch I could not for the life of me get it to shut down I had to just unplug It although It didn't fix It when I halted (halt is what pressing power button by default does), I get power outages every week in Iran, so the chance of corruption is not astronomically higher
