I don’t know about firmware updates that brick a drive. Damaging a disk by excessive reading and writing should result in damaged sectors, which the OS should be able to detect. Later, I forensically imaged the ‘broken’ hard drive and have ran several malware detection scans with no hits . I’m not much of a hardware guy but it does seem the physical HDD was just worn out . I recently responded to an incident of supposed malware infection. The symptoms were simply, «My computer freezes at random times.» The response ended with replacement of the physical hard drive and re-imaging the machine.
HFS is a file system designed to help in organizing files, data on a Macintosh hard disk. Because HFS has been designed in a Macintosh format, this file system cannot be recognized in windows computers (but doesn’t mean you can’t recover HFS partitions in Windows). When hard disk drive gets damaged or corrupted, it may cause system corruption. A data or program file that has been altered accidentally by hardware or software failure or on purpose by an attacker.
There are a few possible causes of a windows 11 file system error, such as malware or a corrupt file system. This will start scanning all of your system files for errors. The reason behind doing this is the fact that when you use the Terminal Command line or other methods to fix DMG files, you risk losing important data. So, to avoid such issues, you will have to use a viable recovery or restoration tool to recover important data.
Almost all computer viruses only damage the data contained on the computer and do not physically harm the computer or its hardware. For example, a non-resident virus can infect a specific file, and when accessed, it can spread to other files, corrupting those files and making them unreadable.

A more «formal» way of preventing such error conditions while developing is applying design by contract in your code. This means you need to set class invariants, and/or even function/method preconditions and postconditions on your system, while developing. Take the time required to understand the cause of the exception. Inspect the previous expressions which could have resulted in such null expressions. Add breakpoints and step through the program as appropriate. JetBrains’ Resharper tool will identify every place in your code that has the possibility of a null reference error. I have a solution without that detection, yet the code occasionally results to the exception.
If you’re using a maintenance suite like Advanced System Repair Pro, then it will back up the registry automatically. However, if you intend to manually edit the registry, then you will have to back it up first. This will load up the Registry Editor, which you can use to make alterations to your registry, such as change value data, remove keys and add sub keys. Alternatively, CrystalDiskInfo can also be used to check the hard drive’s health. Either choose from a Local install or Cloud download, do any additional changes you’d like, and finally click on the Next. Note that if this button is greyed out on your screen, then you probably don’t have a Restore Point on your PC in the first place.
