how did my HDD go corrupt?

Hi,

i made a post related to this in the windows topic and it ended with me realising that the HDD windows is on went corrupt.

basically it was working fine. so i turned it all off, disconnected the power, didnt touch ANYTHING to do with the HDD, and hooked up the new SSD. now every time i start windows even if only the HDD is plugged in, it BSODs as windows loads everything in the background.

how does this happen when it wasnt even touched!?

all the BSODs point at hardware issues. i havent actually tried repair mode but will give it a shot.

ive tried everything with the SATAs. connection, using different cables, different ports.
its definitely on the drive.

turns out the motherboard went faulty. i have no clue how but replacing it worked.
