There are many different kinds of errors, but one of the scariest is when your data disappears and is replaced by strings of red text. A very common issue is the Invalid Page Head error, which can look something like this:
This error can be identified by looking at the entire error string. For instance, here is the error string from the image above:

The most important element of the error string is the reason. In the above example, the reason is:
Reason: Fatal Error (ERROR: invalid page header in block xxxx of relation "xxxxx" )
There are two likely happenings for the invalid page header error. Either there has been some corruption to the database, or you have some faulty hardware. Read below to troubleshoot both.
