Comment 1 for bug 558504

Hi there,

I've re-checked my hardware and due to the abovementioned blackout, a
RAM bank was 'burned'.
Once subbed, my PC has re-booted regularly and restarted working.
Strange the only available option with live CD was MemTest tough...

We can close this bug.
Cheers,
Filippo
