Sometimes after `sudo reboot` my PC can't finish off stage because

When you reported this bug, was it a successful boot or did you have to drop to a terminal (like Ctrl+Alt+F1) to report this? I ask because the same error messages appear in your current system log, so it seems unlikely they're causing the failure.

I also note that you have a fairly old BIOS and it would be a good idea to update, for security if nothing else: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-MORTAR-MAX/support
(Remember, the updated BIOS enables SecureBoot, so you need to sign 3rd party kernel modules or disable SecureBoot.)

It was no way to off my Linux using CLI so I made hard reset.. After successfully upload system again several times, I have sent bugrepo.
I have updated BIOS, I will inform if I met such problem again. Anyway for now this is ghost bug.

[andrei (andrewternity)]

I still don't met my problem but every start-up time I see warnings:

Again, none of the SecureDisplay/TA warnings are an issue. If you google them, you'll find they are common. I have them on my system too.

What might help is to look at log from a failed boot. After you have a failed boot and then boot successfully, get the log from the previous boot with:
sudo journalctl -b -1 > prevboot.txt
