Can confirm, my home desktop more or less died while I was at work. I'd leave it running 24/7, as I had it set up as something of a simple server for a couple things, namely a remote desktop virtual machine.
So yeah, I didn't touch it when it failed.
Cause: Bad capacitors and a failed chipset fan.
I had a work laptop just die one day. It had been working fine, but then I came back from lunch and it was off. After lots of troubleshooting, I narrowed it down to a fried M.2 SSD. I was WFH, so definitely no interaction at the time of failure.
