April 3, 20206 yr Hi all, all of a sudden my server doesn't want to restart anymore. If I do a clean restart my server will post and then just sit on a black screen with a blinking cursor. BIOS is set to only boot this USB stick on legacy boot. I've just replaced the USB stick with a brand new one this morning and same issue. If I press the restart button on the server it will ALWAYS then successfully boot. My board is an Asrock X99 Extreme 4. downloadbox-diagnostics-20200403-1221.zip
April 3, 20206 yr Sounds like something just isn't quite finished initializing hardware wise on a cold boot. On rare occasions, I have the same issue
April 3, 20206 yr Author So the only change I've made recently is to install an NVME drive on the m.2 slot. As support for this was added later in a BIOS update I'm starting to suspect I have issues with this drive as I'm also suddenly seeing random AER PCI-E errors as well.
