Yes, as does my DDR3 RAM that keeps randomly crashing my PC every few days (can't upgrade RAM without replacing motherboard, CPU, case)
My 11yr old gaming rig. Started crashing frequently, but reinstalling Windows didn't fix the issue.
Took out the RAM and graphics card, blow the slots clean with compressed air, reinserted them. Unplugged then replugged in every connector. PC now working again without crashing.
Mine is 13 years old. It just randomly powers off, and then it won't turn back on even when you press the power button.
I learned through trial and error that I just have to unplug and re-seat the 2 RAM modules, then it will turn on again. It's common enough that I just leave the side panel off so it's like a 30 sec operation every 3-4 days.
Oh man, what a pain. Guess you have got in the habit of saving regularly.
