Running Memtest now on one stick of RAM. 6.12.6 and 6.12.8 both boot on the old computer no problems so guessing it is just coincidental timing on the update...how frustrating. If I have trialled it as barebones, is it likely the MOBO is the issue at a guess?

Hi Jorge, Tried installing 6.12.6 on a USB and no boot. Same issues.

Update: got my old computer out of the loft and ran it barebones (CPU, 1x stick RAM, no drives) with my original USB and it boots without issue...I am guessing hardware error but where do I start with this? Don't really fancy buying a new MOBO and its the same issue and nonreturnable once its been opened.

Updated from 6.12.6 to 6.12.8 last night and my system will not boot in any option (normal, safe mode, gui, etc). This has been a relatively stable server for the last few years. I have tried different USB ports, different USB drives, backups, fresh USB installs, removing all RAM and trying different sticks (ran a clean memtest a few weeks ago), unplugging everything (GPU, disks, HBA, etc), updating BIOS, downgrading BIOS. It hangs at various points from initialising the USB devices, verifying bzfirmware checksum, verifying bzimage checksum, creating static nodes in /dev, BERT: hardware error, differences between boot sector and its backup. The syslog doesnt write to USB and I am not sure how to enable it. With so many random errors I am leaning towards a motherboard issue but I have no idea. Any help or direction of what to do to provide more information?

Hello, Upgraded my server from Z490 i3-10100 to a Z790 i5-13600k. All went perfect, booted straight away including VMs. Still running an old ASUS RX470 from the old to the new. After a clean power cycle, my Windows 10 VM would boot to a black screen (VNC was fine). Tried creating a Windows 11 VM and all went fine, figured it was time to upgrade anyway. Everything runs fine except Epic Games will not open at all (Unsupported Graphics Card error) and some games on Steam will not open (Could not initialize graphics system). Googling these brings me to two outcomes - Windows trying to use integrated graphics instead of graphics card and/or an issue with DirectX. I have tried updating the drivers, rolling back drivers, running the VM with no VNC option, checking DirectX version, etc. Running straight through VNC and disabling the card runs the games fine (obviously laggy through VNC though) so I believe it is an issue with the graphics card or passthrough. Feel like this is going to be an easy fix I am just not seeing or possibly my GPU isnt compatible with the new MOBO (unlikely considering it launched fine on first run). Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you Frank! Unfortunately had to disable SSL but I am happy with the risk with my setup.

This seems spot on! Unfortunately theres stuff all configuration available on the router. Need to try and disable it on Unraid server…

Hi all, Got a Netgear R7000 yesterday and flashed with ExpressVPN, worked flawlessly. Today I have moved my Unraid server from my main network to the EVPN router. Did a reboot as well to make sure it started up in its new environment. I cannot access the dashboard via IP or from the myservers portal and I do not know why. Docker has started fine and containers can be connected to via the IP:PORT. VMs have started fine and have network connectivity so the machine does have network access. I thought it may be an issue with EVPN router not allowing devices to talk to each other but it is not that either. I do have a monitor plugged into Unraid and it gives an IP address, appears on the routers DHCP table and can boot to GUI (although this is not ideal as the only access) I feel like I am missing something obvious but I have tried everything I know. Don't know if it is just incompatible with the EVPN router or if there is an easy fix?
