I need access to the files that this server has stored on it and would like to regain the functionality of the backup config as there are a few VMs and docker containers i rely on for configuration of other hardware i have running in the house (ubiquiti APs).

January 1, 20251 yr Community Expert Maybe you already tried these but I didn't notice any mention in your threads.

Suggest you choose the luckiest stick and fire it up with just that. If it still hangs, try again with the next luckiest stick. Disable fast boot too.
January 5, 20251 yr Author I have likely found the resolution to this, after Veah's previous post i pulled all of teh ram to test it individually again and i noticed that in the error when it freezes on boot, it indicated core 10. Well, when testing each stick individually all of the faults are while utilizing core 10 or Thread 26, which seem to be both processed on core 10. Core Thread 1 17 2 18 3 19 4 20 5 21 6 22 7 23 8 24 9 25 *10 26* 11 27 12 28 13 29 14 30 15 31 16 32 RMA'ing the processor and hoping this is the resolution. these test results are in order top to bottom as pictured above.
