Yes, pretty sure. After I press power button, the screen shows "DELL"
and hangs. I can't step into any configure interface and the keyboard is
dead. (NumLock led on, and I can't turn it off.) Of course my kernel
won't be loaded. The only way to fix it is change the jump line which is
on the motherboard.

Dell XPS 8500. Link here: http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-8500/pd

I already have more than 100 pstore entries and backend is
efi. But yes, efibootmgr trigger this accident.
