A failure may occur during an incorrect shutdown of the computer, when the plug is removed from the socket without turning off the computer first through the Start menu. Or with an unexpected outage of the light. Sometimes the so-called blue screen of death may be the harbinger of a failure in the loading sector, after the appearance of which the system may not be loaded.
