So this is a followup from my previous thread: https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...0d4i-wont-boot-no-bios-no-ipmi-nothing.40868/
I decided to start a new one, since i have made some big changes, and the problem has thus also changed.
Backstory: I have a ASrock C2550D4I that has been running as a NAS for about two years now. Well, had... After a crash of the server (and a bunch of random signs on the screen) i did a hard shutdown, and after that it went dead. I tried everything to get it started again, but all i could do was get into the IPMI.
Problem: When the server is turned on, it won't display any VGA output, it's completely black. When using Console redirection through IPMI i get the same result. Completely black screen. I've waited for 30 minutes and still nothing. It seems as if it doesn't even get to POST.
What's new?: Well, i decided to buy another C2550D4I and see if that solved the problem, it did not. Then i decided to buy another setup of RAM sticks (qualified of course), which didn't work either. I have also tried with another PSU, which doesn't work wither. So what i've come to is that neither the motherboard, RAM, or PSU is faulty, but i still can't get anything to work. I now have two complete setups, and neither of them works!
I've tried every possible combination of old RAM on new board, new RAM on new board etc. Still nothing.
Also tried to clear CMOS several times, nothing.
What am i doing wrong here!? I'm just throwing money everywhere on new components and nothing works!
Old RAM: 2x Kingston KVR1333D3E9S/8G
New RAM:2x Crucial 102472BD160B
