Solar flares and even the occasional random neutron hitting your equipment can cause some weird issues. If its just a one time occurrence and it doesn’t happen again, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Wanted to say that - Random shit does happen, even to the most stable systems. There’s a cutoff in consumer hardware where selecting for more stability simply isn’t worth the cost such as radiation hardening. Best you can do is ECC Ram.

So you're saying there's a market for lead lined PC cases? 🤔

That might introduce more issues than help. If high speed particles impact your shielding, you might get a “particle shower” from the impact on your electronics. Radiation Hardening is part of the design of the chips - mainly creating less dense structures with bigger transistors, because they don’t flip as easily as the very small gates on a H200. That’s also the reason why most space based computers have the processing power of a system around 2005.
