so the other day I unplugged my PC running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (it was completely shut down when I plugged it out), and a week later, I plugged it back in and since then I can't boot it with that issue:

"error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'"
"Entering rescue mode..."
"grub rescue>"

The PC has a single 120GB SSD installed, single partition, and I can't really remember what partition type it is.

PC:
Core2Quad Q8200 2.33GHz
6GB DDR2 RAM
Asus P5K-SE motherboard
((some low spec AMD gpu with 1GB of memory))
Crucial 120GB SSD

Just don't tell me I have to reinstall Ubuntu, for the 3rd time now.

EDIT: turns out it was a faulty... SATA cable.
