Well there it`s a way to force your computer crash in case of power supply failure.
The method is really savage but till now this is the only indicator I could use to force a crash of power loss.
Check this tool use it as trial you do not need any of the paid tools.

Mostly if the power supply is bad this will crash the computer as will force it to work on full capacity.
This wont damage your computer hardware.
Can you please confirm if the sound is working in Linux?
