M martin.david1995 Member Joined Sep 21, 2019 Posts 24 Sep 23, 2019 #22 Sorry a few other questions - I'm worried about my ssd being potentially permanently damaged from this RAM issue. In your experience would you expect that to be the case? If so is there a way I can check the health of my drive to ensure I don't need a replacement? Also are there any other possibilities of permanent hardware damage being done to any of my other components?
