Off all the H/W issues that cause mobo to die and brick as in paper weight an SSD, software related such as WIndows 10/11 and secure boot and bitlocker, 2042, DIce App, is very far distant to causing what H/W issues you described. Secure boot settings not done right in BIOS / UEFI can cause your windows to not boot . . . but the h/w still is usable.
If you install the wrong firmware for your specific mobo, usually it bricks (but you can recover it) your mobo and you can brick (recoverable) an SSD if you flip switches in BIOS / UEFI related to SSD settings (AND some secure boot settings is one of them), but if you put back the proper firmware (for SSD format it properly) they should work as advertised. But the cause is not Secure Boot on Windows side, it's changing the way the SSD is accessed which can cause windows issues, because secure boot needs to have certain settings. Win 10 usually is the cause as earlier versions of 10 didn't default secure boot so BIOS / UEFI settings (and SSD settings ) were set this way (and older mobo / ssd may have firmware that doesn't support secure boot even its the latest for that model ).
Secure boot comes with Win 11 by default, and @ my work we've (IT deployment team) set up hundreds of PCs a week with win 11 and 10 (10 not so much inna last 2 years) with secure boot enabled not h/w issue outside some occasional rarity and its usually Dell Q/A slip ups.
You didn't list out your whole set up but tons of hardware issues exist and can stand out as causes, and many h/w issues can cause this. Some h/w doesn't like to play well with each other. For custom builds one has to research for known issues of what they are setting up.
Overclocking even if a little can cause it, Amazon and newegg will sell you a current heavily OC card better stats and cheaper than non OC variant with similar stats, but won't tell you it needs a liquid coolant to survive but the non OC will live with just stock fans. The Ryzen you have if combo'd with certain ARrock mobo's (and specific firmware version) can bubble the AMD CPU or volt fry the mobo, which can cause mobo issues. If you run a nvidia 4090, 5080, 5090 or 6000 (infamous 12VHPWR cable issue) those that can burn mobo / take out the video card slots / PSU. If you run system barely with enough power, this can power spike / spike draw can cause PSU isues which damages everything its plugged into.
that said, root access also means giving EA / DIce / Windows administrative access level to your PC, but EA / Dice / Windows employees , apps and AI run by them will never ask or seek for your usernames or passwords, but nefarious very knowledgeable computer users will.
