System stops after changing the cpu cooler

[operator]

Hello,
i had a problem with the air cooler on my CPU cooler - AMD-E350 (Mainboard: Asrock E350M1) - and changed it completely. The aluminium cooler and the 40x40 air fan cooler were changed by bigger aluminum block with silent cooler (xilence). After that i cannot start the system anymore.

I see just this


The system is TrueNAS 12.0 (U2?)

Can anyone help me? I have no idea what happens - before the system was booting well.

what is TrueNAS installed on? .. SSD? .. USB drive?

on 32gb USB pendrive

Your drive could have coincidentally failed you .. SSD's are the recommended boot devices to use .. I used to run a couple AMD-E350's awhile ago.. I used a cheap 120GB SSD (was about $15) and a USB to SATA cable .. the USB port is enough to power the SSD at that size.
Does your AMD-E350 boot to it's BIOS just fine?
If you plug your pendrive into another computer, does TrueNAS successfully boot up in it?

Hopefully you have a backup of your config file and a simple reinstall on different media and then load your saved config file.. then you are back in business .. hopefully ..

incidentally .. I had to replace the fan on my Gigabyte E350 ..

Ok, but how it can happen? The system was shutdown in overheating alert by the bios. Can this cause the error?

Yes, the system is booting well and i can use the UEFI.

USB drives are not very reliable and with TrueNAS .. it seems to access those files way more than older version's of FreeNAS did when it was recommended media to boot from .. so more read/writes of which equals wear and tear .. if system shut down while TrueNAS was reading/writing something .. it could have simply corrupted some files and it might still be physically fine hardware wise but still requires a reinstall .. either way, I'd invest in an SSD as your new boot drive.

But ..that's totally up to you.

But i used the FreeNAS since 8 years and installed it by the installation guide. There was ever a instruction to install it on USB pendrive stick...

Yeah, well, eight years is a long time and a lot has changed. Notably boot from ZFS. The advice to avoid USB flash drives has been around for some five years now, as it became evident that most USB flash drives just aren't reliable enough for the additional workload that came from booting from ZFS.

Flash drives most often exhibit failure during updates or reboots. As has been previously noted, the way FreeNAS/TrueNAS runs has changed over the years and small SSD's are now recommended over flash drives.

Ok, i get an 2.5" 120GB SSD now and want to install it now. But then i have an problem by starting the installation CD in external usb CD Drive. Get the message:
