From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello,
Today my washing machine completely broke down. My parents desperately tried to get it working, but it resulted in the circuit breakers tripping and my server (an old Dell Wyse thin client) experiencing a hard power off.
When I tried to turn it back on, I received these errors on the screen.
I ran a memtest, and it completed without any issues. I also created a disk image backup just in case.
Is there any chance of getting this machine running again, or is it only fit for utilization?
Run the BIOS self tests.
Something's definitely broken (TPM errors, self test errors, graphical artifacts), but I can't tell what from the image. I would guess motherboard problems, or a subtly damaged CPU.
Could also be more then one problem in the case of over voltage (worst case consequence of PSU damage), or intermittent failure from under voltage (should be fixed with a new PSU).
