I’ve never had this issue. Though to be honest I have an industrial motherboard that isn’t prone to failure and has to be configured manually for literally everything on the machine in the bios. Currently rocking 48 gigabytes of ddr4 ram running in fucked quad channel with a core i5 9th gen and an RX 6600. Running Linux as Windows 11 literally halves my performance in games.
I’ve quite literally shocked my motherboard and forced shut it down several times and it does not care. It also has PS2 keyboard and mouse ports and a single PCI slot alongside serial and VGA on the back. Yes I try to avoid shocking my electronics and genuinely try to be careful with them. Kinda hard when your power cuts though. Or you think that blanket you have on would be fine to wear in the cold while you are repasting.
The thing is also neat as in it has a backup bios when I was modding my BIOS I really appreciated because it meant you could always just flash the motherboard without desocking and reprogramming the bios chip.
You also have to configure where the thing boots and how the ram works as well. Or else it will just refuse to boot past the bios. Oh yeah and enable settings specific to your CPU and what it can do.
Whenever you reset the CMOS it has a default password which is just password as well.
Ahahaha. Last time I did clean my PC and re-paste for the first time since 4 years - my wife has touched PC case and hit it with static. She saw my face fall into despair the moment it happened. She didn’t knew. It didn’t start after reassembly. And that’s how I bought my current PC.
After many attempts and debugging I found out that one ram slot is dead and PC wont boot with any ram sticks in this port. But that was too late.
This is how it usually goes for me.

This is why you don’t clean it with soap, water and a wire brush. Just use air.
I have been living with only my work laptop for years now because that happened and then I didn’t want to deal with it until later.
