New build, everything appears normal until the internet stops and external drives vanish?
after opening device manager and adjusting power settings for USB and LAN, I haven’t encountered any problems yet. However, another issue I’m facing is that when I try to reset, it gets stuck in a loop and doesn’t actually reset. The icon spins continuously, and even after letting it run for two hours, it still boots into safe mode when turned off.
It seems to confirm your understanding about system stability improvements.
Regarding the reset process, it appears you're asking if exiting Sleep or Hibernation causes the computer to loop when returning to Desktop.
If this is the case, disabling these modes might help.
The reason for turning off all power-saving features and Sleep/Hibernation is due to concerns about Windows properly managing external USB devices. This approach is more stable but less energy-efficient.

Alternatively, you can adjust settings via Microsoft support resources.
Method 5 involves disabling USB selective suspend to prevent external drives from shutting down unexpectedly.
Choose the Start button, enter power plan in the search, then pick Change Plan Settings, select Change advanced power settings, expand USB Settings, and set Plugged in to disabled.
