  2. Reset (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reset_(computing)

    Reset places less stress on the hardware than power cycling, as the power is not removed. Many computers, especially older models, have user accessible "reset" buttons that assert the reset line to facilitate a system reboot in a way that cannot be trapped (i.e. prevented) by the operating system.

  3. Hardware reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_reset

    Hardware reset. A hardware reset or hard reset of a computer system is a hardware operation that re-initializes the core hardware components of the system, thus ending all current software operations in the system. This is typically, but not always, followed by booting of the system into firmware that re-initializes the rest of the system, and ...

  6. Reboot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reboot

    In computing, rebooting is the process by which a running computer system is restarted, either intentionally or unintentionally. Reboots can be either a cold reboot (alternatively known as a hard reboot) in which the power to the system is physically turned off and back on again (causing an initial boot of the machine); or a warm reboot (or ...

  7. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

    A residual-current device ( RCD ), residual-current circuit breaker ( RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter ( GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through a conductor is not equal and opposite in both directions, therefore indicating leakage current to ground or current ...

  8. Non-maskable interrupt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-maskable_interrupt

    Non-maskable interrupt. In computing, a non-maskable interrupt ( NMI) is a hardware interrupt that standard interrupt-masking techniques in the system cannot ignore. It typically occurs to signal attention for non-recoverable hardware errors. Some NMIs may be masked, but only by using proprietary methods specific to the particular NMI.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reset_button_technique

    Reset button technique. The reset button technique (based on the idea of status quo ante) is a plot device for interrupting continuity in works of fiction. The reset button device is used to return all characters and situations to the status quo prior to some major change. It can be employed in the middle of a program to negate some portion of ...
