can you please help me? i ran out of options

my ubuntu 24.04.2 lts keeps rebooting randomly, it started doing it some months ago, but i think i have identified the root of the problem, it seems it has something to do with the bluetooth driver or something like that

i don't use any bluetooth device, but in the journal logs of the last forced reboot, this is the line that always appears right before the reboot:

failed to activate service 'org.bluez'

right after it, the system reboots, and then it works normally, but it doesn't have any sound at all

then i manually reboot the system again, and the sound works again, but then it forcefully reboots again, and the same error appears in the journal logs

so, since i don't need any bluetooth service, can i disable it permanently? i think some programs (like steam) ask for the service, and then some error comes up and my system reboots on it's own

what may be happening?

Here's what you do
Turn off your PC but don't just shut it down
hit the switch on the power supply or unplug it from the wall and wait at least 10 minutes
plug your PC back in again and you will be able to install new BT drivers, etc.

i'm not sure if you're serious, but i found a solution anyway

sudo systemctl disable --now bluetooth

i type this in the terminal right after launching steam, and then my game works as it should, with no random reboots

i'll keep this code at hand in case any other software gives me the same problem
