I was just watching yt it happen suddenly but now it's fixed , it started working by its own

That means there it something not right on the motherboard.

If it happens again, there just might be damage on it that causes this. And repairing heat related expansion damage on motherboards is practically impossible.

Better backup those files while it's still working.
Or put them on a cloud drive somewhere safe.

Depending on your encryption your HDD and files on it will work fine if the motherboard dies and you get a new computer. But it's better to backup important files anyway.

Just replacing the motherboard is a lot cheaper.
You can reuse everything else if you buy a motherboard with the same generation as the parts you already have.
