An automated boot failure prevention and recovery circuit includes one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, a processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to electrically disconnect a memory from a power source, short the memory to ground for a predetermined period of time to adjust memory content from a stochastic state to a machine-tolerable state or an acceptable non-failure state. The processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to electrically disconnect the memory from the ground, and electrically reconnect the memory to the power source. The processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to apply a load across the power source, acquire power source information, and notify the user of the battery charge status to preclude loss of memory data.
