Hello unRAID world..

I have a new build that will not boot unRaid. I used unRaid on an old Win 8.1 box and had a great experience due in large part to this support community combined with Spaceinvader One's excellent videos.  IOMMU issues (not supported on old MOBO ) caused me to move on to a custom build, that is based on Spaceinvader's featured build.

• Cpu  Intel Xeon E5 2670 V3 ES QFSA 2.2Ghz 30MB 12Core LGA2011-3 105W 22nm Processor
• MB- ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard  
• CPU cooler-  Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
• Ram- Timetec Samsung IC 32GB DDR4 2400MHz PC4-19200 Registered ECC 1.2V CL17 2Rx4 Dual Rank 288 Pin RDIMM Server Memory Ram Module Upgrade (32GB)
• Power- Cooler Master V550 - 550W Compact Fully Modular 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply  
• GPU- EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING, 02G-P4-6150-KR, 2GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)

The previously working unRaid flash drive is plugged into a USB port on the back of the MOBO not a front port. The IOMMU/VT-D, Hyper threading/Intel Virtualization, and USB settings all set correctly, I think  (see hyperlinked images.) Finally Firmware is up to date. I have followed many BIOS/software remedies to no avail. The boot sequence hangs on the second page of text, however on the first attempt I got this image. 

So the question is if I truly have a hardware issue, how best to go about diagnosing it? All components above are new except the CPU which is an "engineering sample" out of Hong Kong from a vendor who had 30 to sell and will stand by his products. If I have a BIOS / Software problem I will just keep reading or buy an hour of support.

Thanks,

Ken

Make sure the Flash Drive is plugged into a USB2 port.   (They have a black plastic insert.)

 

EDIT:  Also try a NEW Flash Drive and load up a virgin copy of unRAID and use a trial license.

That MB- ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard  supports ECC RAM but not 32 GB size, only 16 GB per RAM slot. Once replaced boots just fine.
