Airbus software

I've been thinking about the programming for fly-by-wire aircraft and the software conditional branches to contend with flying close to coffin corner, encountering a major thunderstorm and possibly losing some real-time physical status input. When Windows encounters this kind of situation and gives me the blue screen of death, I can just hit the reset button and restart to a known condition, except on newer machines where you have to disconnect the battery because there is no reset button. Does fly-by-wire hardware have a reset button anywhere close to a human in the cockpit or is it necessary to find a circuit breaker somewhere? Perhaps some professional pilot could answer this.
