HA! Not just me then!
I still have an uneasy feeling in my guts doing reboots, especially on AM5 where the initial memory timing can take 30s or so.
I think most of my "huh, its broken now?" experiences as a youth were probably the actual install getting wonky though, rather than the few rare "it exploded" hardware failures after reboot, though that definitely happened.
