    I wasn’t aware that data could be corrupted by unplugging components, but what you’re saying is making sense. That could definitely have been it.

      “Weird Shit” is always a possibility when there’s any power at all in the system. The PSU will keep low level power supplied for a surprisingly long time after being unplugged from the mains. 💛

        Is it true that this power gets drained when you press the power button without the power cord plugged in?

          Possibly helped somewhat for older machines where pressing the button made the fans spin for a little, but modern systems are somehow smart enough to not even bother doing anything
