Describe the bug

A EC risk warning may good as well

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go down the list
  2. Click on load a config
  3. Scroll down to config that has same name, but different product code.
  4. Find your system shutting down after a minute after start

Expected behavior

I hope the warnings can be improved a bit so they inform better, and prevent people from making a mistake

Additional context

(I hope I or others could contribute here as this sort of thing is a waste of devs time, and users if running into issues that could be avoided or resolved quickly)

(I'll try to look at later again within 48 hrs) Here is a 1st draft. Maybe good enough?)

**Warning the Embedded Controller (EC) manages the keyboard, charging, power, cooling, and ?temp reporting iirc? While sometimes it can be recovered by reseting the EC or reflashing Your system may be no longer function or even be permanently damaged.

I have used other EC projects like msi-ec, mcontrolcenter, and others.

I suspect my hardware may be having a separate hardware board issue preventing communication from Ec to OS. EC reset were needed more often lately with ryzenadj, uxtu and ghelper. This happens to be first time a EC reset or reflashing the EC doesn't resolve all EC issues. Msi center and ryzenadj were not showing normal values and functioning normally.
