Not saying this is the answer to your question, but generally, it's the hardware/software unaccounted-for states that can't easily be recovered from. So, rebooting would hopefully get it in a known "clean" state, and hopefully, not falling into that unaccounted-for state again.
Shitty, but works with some other things too. Angry, frustrated, hopeless? Sleep it off, maybe (not guaranteed) it will be better tomorrow.
Something just needs to be expressed.
