      Hello everyone!

      A couple of days ago, I bought a RaspberryPi to install retropie on it.
      Everything worked fine untill yesterday, when the RaspberryPi wouldn't boot. (It said: End Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init). I unplugged the power supply and booted it again, and everything worked fine again.

      But today it wouldn't boot again. Now it just gives a screen with colours (the first screen that comes up when you boot the RaspberryPi).

      What can I do to fix this?

        @KobeT Looks like a damaged SD card or improper power source - see https://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Coloured_splash_screen for reasons why this might happen and maybe try the config.txt modification suggested on the page.
