As in the title, something happened to my server yesterday, and when I try to boot up, I'm stuck at the unRAID blue screen (https://imgur.com/a/P7YDL1x).

 

I tried recreating the USB Drive with the unRAID USB creator on both Mac and Windows, again running into the same issue.

Would this occur if I have an issue with RAM, too? Any specific thoughts for solutions?

 

More recently, I also tried starting up and pressing Return/Enter repeatedly, which led to the system proceeding to load bzimage, and bzroot, but it then hangs on another screen.

 

Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/Xf3NBhc

 

I wonder if my motherboard is having an issue of some type? Or if there's an issue with the RAM? (Though memtest86 looked okay when I initially started it, but only completed one pass).

 

Any thoughts?

Try resetting the board CMOS and removing all add-on cards, then try booting again with a different flash drive using a stock Unraid install, no key needed, if it still doesn't boot you likely have a board/CPU/RAM issue.

I’ll give this a shot. Right now it’s been turning on and off repeatedly, so I’ll try this again tonight.

If I need to replace the motherboard, I might seek guidance on a good option in another thread. One that can accommodate 8 HDDs, 2 SSDs, 1-2 NVMe, and preferably still use my ECC RAM. I’ve had good luck with Xeon processors but variable with ASRock boards.
