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. ๐
Is it true that this power gets drained when you press the power button without the power cord plugged in?
Not in my experience.
