turning it off and on again seemed to resolve it for now
The first thing I learned about computer science back in the early 70s was the difference between a bug and a glitch. What you described is most likely a glitch, and aside from having back ups, the only thing you can do is wait for it to happen repeatedly so that you can try to diagnose it as a bug.

My PC failed to get past the MB boot screen this morning. Fortunately turning it off and on again seemed to resolve it for now.
Beyond backing things up, is there anything else I should do? Are there any diagnostic tools that might be useful to run to try and narrow down what the issue might be?
