C2750D4I Dead?

Build in signature

Server was non-responsive couldn't get into the GUI, was able to get into IPMI and restart. I now get nothing on startup just a blank/black screen (both via IPMI or VGA).

IPMI is still fully responsive I can get in, shutdown, restart etc. sensor data also looks fine. Unplugged all drives and left only a single RAM in the A1 slot, no change.

I want to say the board is toast, I patched for Watchdog as soon as the fix was out but the box is going on 4 years. The fact IPMI appears 100% is throwing me off, any ideas?

I would contact ASRock ASAP and see if they will help you under warranty. See this thread for more info.

Mine died today as well - looking at getting a lower end Supermicro board to use with an old i5 to tide me over whilst I RMA the Asrock board with the supplier. I'm about the only user of the file server and I have several Tb of Thunderbolt on the back of this iMac so I can mitigate any temporary loss of speed issues.

RMA approved, thanks for the suggestion
