Boot Drive Issue / Can't Log into GUI

[uncleiven]

About a week ago I noticed I was getting this alert (see attached) which suggested an issue with my boot flash drive. 
Another recommendation I found was to do a server reboot as it had been up for around 3 months.
 

I noticed 6.12.7-rc2 was available to download, so I thought I'd do the update and complete a reboot in one process - I also did a Flash Back up (yesterday)

My issue is that once unRAID boots up I can see on a monitor connected to the server it gets to the end of the process showing it's IP address, OS version etc, however I can't load the GUI to actually log into the OS.

I have tried a few different things, which included using the USB creator on 3 other flash drives to load my backup ZIP but when I try and boot from them (forcing it via BIOS) it just wont boot at all (MB is an MSI Pro).

 

Any more ideas or suggestions, please?

To add, I've tried the old and new flash drives in various USB2 and USB3 ports, still no good.

Have you tried creating the flash drive using the Manual install method.   In my experience it is more reliable than using USB Creator.

No, but I will give that a try now. Thanks
