I'm experiencing a weird issue with my PC where it crashes and shows a black screen on the first boot of the day, but this only happens once daily. It runs on Windows 11 and is built with a Ryzen 5600, b450m Mortar motherboard, RX 6700 graphics card, and Corsair LPX memory with XMP overclocked to 3600MHz. I'm using a Seasonic Focus Gold 550w power supply. After that initial crash, the system works perfectly fine for the rest of the day, even during gaming. HWinfo doesn't show any abnormal temperatures after the crash. I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware or OS-related issue, and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

Make sure your BIOS is up to date. Sometimes firmware updates can resolve these weird boot issues. If you haven’t checked this before, it could be worth looking into.
Another thing to try is turning off Fast Startup in your Power Plan settings. This feature can sometimes cause issues with certain configurations, so it might be worth disabling it to see if that helps.
It might help to check the Event Viewer for any error codes that pop up when the crash happens. Typically, a common one is code 41, which indicates that the system rebooted without shutting down cleanly. Starting with a fresh install of Windows is often a good first step to troubleshoot issues like this one.
