My laptop froze today and I force switched it off. A few minutes later it would just show the purple screen when trying to get into Ubuntu.
Then my laptop said it couldn't find a boot device.
I've had this HDD for just under a year now and I took it out of my laptop, it is quite hot and I've left it to cool before I put it back in.
Could there be any reasoning behind it getting so hot?
Notes:
- I only use ubuntu, no extra OS
- My laptop is around 7 years old
- Laptop has an i7 4th generation I think
- 6GB RAM
- 1TB HDD
