Partitioning a Hard Drive degrades its life span?? My pre built desktop had come with a 1TB Hard Disk Drive with no partitions at all, so i later had to divide it into 130 and 800 to manage my data. Does this affect the performance or the life of the HDD itself in any way?

So I was playing csgo for a while then my pc decided to shut down suddenly. I tried to turn it back on hard disk activity light does not blink every fan is running on cpu graphic card etc. Display wont show and power button wont shutdown.
