PS1 Bios Ruining Hard Drive (?)
Wanted to play Silent Hill 1 last semester and set up RetroArch. I was able to play it, but the next day I booted my laptop and it crashed shortly thereafter. It continued to do this until it wouldn't turn on. Eventually it seemed that my whole hard drive was jacked up. My fear is that I had PS1 Bios on my desktop when I shut off my computer and that on start it tried using them (?). The guide I was following briefly mentioned not to but PS1 bios on your C: drive but didn't explain why, and I can't seem to find any other mention of somebody having this problem. I had an SSD as well if that means anything. Just wanting to know if this was actually the cause for the problem or if it was likely something else.

Most likely something else. In all my years of using emulators, dumping bios roms, games and whatever, this has never happened to me. And I used both HDDs and SSDs.

There's a very good chance that your Hard Drive was already in bad shape to begin with and started to show symptoms at that exact time.

Can tell you with nearly 100% certainty that windows did not attempt to use the playstation one bios as its windows 10 or 11 bios.
For the steam bios pathway it goes along as \Steam\steamapps\common\RetroArch\system. Just figure out wherever you put your steam folder To access that subdirectory.

You likely have something else that's making your system unstable although it's hard to say exactly What the issue is

Click Start.

In the search bar, type CMD .

Right-click CMD.exe and select Run as Administrator.

On the User Account Control (UAC) prompt, click Yes.

In the command prompt window, type SFC /scannow and press Enter .

System file checker utility checks the integrity of Windows system files and repairs them if required. That is of course if you can get it to turn on,if its not turning on you have a serious hardware problem,not software.
