Well RAM memory is volatile.why not use that as part of that 8 Gigabyte for part of the boot up. Then it will always boot up, unless you use some kind of "special command" to change the boot sequence, the last time you used it.
Meaning that when you turn off the power, everything in that 8GB of RAM is lost - so it cant be used for the next boot.
I think "bad SD card" meant a physically faulty (or fake) card, which I agree with. Commonly they go read-only after that. Nothing you can do to fix that other than buying a new card
Abruptly removing the power, or some kind of crash, can leave a disk corrupted on any type of (full) OS. Linux file system's such as the default ext4 are pretty robust though and the system can often fix the problem itself during the next boot. Always shut the machine down cleanly and "safely eject" removable drives.
