Hi all,
Not my first build but decided to replace my two unraid servers and consolidate into one. I'm stumped as to what i can do other than give up.
Post making a USB key. I might get one successful boot. try again and it will either kernel panic/VFS errors, failed to read blocks: 0x7, simply wont boot and kicks me back to the bios.
So far i have tried.
- Updated BIOS
- Cleared CMOS and start from scratch on the recommended settings.
- Used the Windows USB creator app and manually created USB Key
- Tried disabling things like IPMI, C-States, Fast Boot, Ignore F1 errors
- Ensured the key is the primary boot.
- Tried UEFI and Non UEFI keys.
- If i enable CSM board pushes display out to an onboard VGA header even though there is a discrete graphics card so with out a VGA monitor no idea what happens but looking at my router it has not successfully booted.
- On my tenth USB key though have tried a mixture of Sandisk, Samsung in either USB 2.0/3.0/3.1
- Took the key one of my servers that works and it booted once. second boot same issues.
- Installed windows via USB and was able to run cinebench for 24 hours straight.

Threadripper Pro 3975X
