January 23, 201610 yr I'm building a new unRaid server to replace my old stable one (that of course went boom a few days ago before I could finish this one!) and having an issue. I'm using an ASRock E3C226D2I Mini ITX Server Motherboard with known good supported RAM and a Intel Xeon E3-1231V3. I can't get past the system startup. Never even get tot he BIOS screen as far as I can tell, it's obviously not happy about something. I tore it apart and checked the CPU pins, it all looked good. Reset all the wires and tested the RAM in another system, no problems. I don't have another board to test the CPU with so I'm stuck between it being a CPU issue and a MB issue. ASRock support is of course saying it's the CPU . Any ideas which is the more likely?
January 23, 201610 yr Author Nope. Just a blinky green LED. Reading around it looks like I'm far from the only one Just pulled the power cables and CMOS battery, hopefully I can reset it to working.
January 23, 201610 yr Author Ok... looks like the reset did it! Apparently the advice is to never ever unplug it again! Now I have to get a new key from Tom and I can be up and running again, then need to manually transfer my old stuff.
