Hello... so im in a bit of a panic here
Here is what happened:
So... I was moving things around my case, preparing for my new Ryzen install and moving from Intel, I wasn't going to do it today so it was mere preparations and tests of what new parts had currently arrived. Long story short all of my tests worked and I manged to get everything working but when I was plugging everything back into the old motherboard I connected the wrong CPU cable, it was the second one and not the primary, at first I thought they were both the same, just that some CPUs need double and so I plugged in whichever one and when I tried to power on my system, it wouldn't power on at all. I went there and quickly checked the CPU cable, notcing that the two connectors although both for the CPU were NOT Identical. I connected the primary one and thank god my computer turned on
But here is the thing, my Windows installation was blue-screening, it was displaying 'CANNOT UNMOUNT BOOT PARTITION' or something along those lines and was doing the same thing for about 3 times, I tried booting into safe mode but after about 5 boots it wouldn't boot at all! it would just display '0x00000cf' on a blank screen. At that point I was like ok the SSD Is dead, but how? I don't understand how plugging the wrong CPU cable in didn't kill the mobo or the CPU, In fact I'm writing this from the same computer that booted into my Lubuntu drive and since I was into Lubuntu, apart from writing this, I decided to open GPARTED and have a look at the ssd and gparted actually fully recognises the SSD and all of it's partitions, in fact I can fully mount the typical recovery partition Windows 10 likes to make but not the primary ntfs partition with all my data on it. But after a reboot that changed as well, now Lubuntu complains about reading the drive and displays a bunch of errors in fsyncing. No idea what that means but it has "Your SSD is dead" written all over it
I don't really know what happened, maybe this was a coincidence but then again maybe not, it's very unlikely and too good for a coincidence
Any last tips before I throw the SSD away? Maybe my cheap VS350 did this somehow? (Don't worry i'm replacing it with a quality unit very soon)
