So i want to install freenas on an old pc but i cant seem to install it. I've tried installing it on hdd and on an ssd (tested and working fine). The freenas image is on a cd becouse the board wont boot from usb. The strange thing that happens is the install steps start 1of 4 and the system turns off randomly, sometimes on 40% sometimes on 80% all on step 1 of install. After that i need to reformat the drive because then when i try to install, it instantly says install failed. The specs of the pc are as follows, and this is not the final build. Mobo: supermicro pdsma+ , 2gb ddr2 RAM (i will buy more ram just wanted to see if everything will install correctly), wd blue 240gb and kingston a400 120gb ssd, pcix supermicro controller (sat2-mv8 for extra sata ports) intel celeron (64bit can't remember but i also have a core 2 duo 4300).

Ask those people what version they are running.
I can't run Windows 10 on a 25 year old machine designed for Windows 3.1.
If you are watching an old Youtube video, it could that the term FreeNAS isn't the FreeNAS that is supported here. 8 years of so ago, iXsystems bought the FreeNAS name and developed a new product - with new requirements. FreeNAS 0.7 was a different beast.
