Answer 3

I'll tell you a story from my life. Meng secretly turned on the computer (WinXP OS) from his mother, once he hears - his mother is coming, turns it off, he slows down and nothing. De-energizes - something happened to the hard drive. I just don’t remember to what extent: to repartition or just reinstall.
The probability of a hardware failure is extremely small, but this is what happens if you turn off the power when the computer rustles with a screw.
UPD. Winchester still works today.

Answer 4

The chance that something will die is very small. I personally encountered the death of the ddr3 bar and another video card. But these are special cases, 90% that everything will be fine.

Answer 5

NTFS - journaling, HDD - will have time to park the heads. That is, there may be data loss.
