Please don’t turn off your PC

I feel like every time I turn off or restart my PC, I’m sorry I did that.
This time I put it to sleep, and discovered that it restarted to install some updates. Only it would hang while doing so, and would even hang when you try to open the recovery menu.
I went through the entire process: removing RAM, removing video card (onboard HDMI is useless now, BTW, as AMD doesn’t come with any video chip, it’s just for show).
Ended up removing all SSDs, and trying to boot from USB only. Updated BIOS. Nothing.
Then, after two days, it started working again.
Of course now I’m afraid to restart it.
In any case, I ordered a new motherboard. They don’t make X570 anymore, but B550 is essentially the same, and you can’t go above that, because above is AM5 chipset, and not AM4.
