I had recently tried launching ETS2 and when I was mounting my G27 to my desk, it seemed to have touch some key(s) on my keyboard and my screen went black and computer instantly shut off, like it would if you press and hold the power button. When I turned it back on, my Steam had said that ETS2 was not installed along with all the DLC I have, and I researched some solutions and came to the conclusion that it just had misplaced the ETS2 file, which would be found as soon as I hit "install", which it did.
Once everything was "back to normal", upon launching I noticed that before I had a black border on both sides of my screen which would kind of compress the game, and that's what I got used to playing it as. Now it was full screen, and I don't necessarily mind that because that's how its supposed to be anyways, and I got used to it. But, I noticed that before when I got on I could rest, teleport to service, quick travel, and do various other things which would get my freight market to work. It seems now quick travel only works some of the time, the other two don't at all. I have driven about 20,000 in game KM since the issue happened and have never gotten a need to rest whatsoever, when I get to a rest area it just tells me "You are not tired right now", so I can't even try that option to see if my freight market decides to work again. I have tried the edit in the config file (the old method), and just like quick travel it works some of the time, and other times doesn't.
My screen going black when I try to mount my G27 right as I launch the game has happened twice now, and I'm not sure why. The first time it did what I said above, second time didn't hurt anything other than to restart my PC. I have since been careful not to accidentally hit my G27 on my keyboard. I'm also completely unaware of the reason, I have 400+ in game hours and am certain I've hit the keyboard plenty of times before when launching. The only thing is, I recently bought an additional HDD and installed it into my computer, ETS2 is not on it but it is the only change I have made since the problem has happened.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as when I tried doing research I could not find anything similar.

Hi guys,
I had recently tried launching ETS2 and when I was mounting my G27 to my desk, it seemed to have touch some key(s) on my keyboard and my screen went black and computer instantly shut off, like it would if you press and hold the power button.
