Hello all. I've spent the last few days reading and searching and struggling. I've got an old desktop from 2012 that I'd like to turn into a NAS.
OS: Windows 7 64bit Home
Motherboard: Gateway (Acer) IPISB-VR (rev. 1.01)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2320
RAM: 8GB
Each time I'm using a USB stick prepared with either Rufus or balenaEtcher. I've tried various USB makes/models. I tried to update my BIOS, which I had read could be a problem, but unfortunately that went nowhere. Apparently my motherboard is notorious for this. Googling "Gateway DX4860" will get you many, many users trying to update their BIOS and all receive the "size does not match" error when using Gateway's ROMs. No one seems to have solved this. I'm hoping the BIOS isn't the issue here...
FreeNAS-11.1-U7/FreeNAS-11.1-U6
Seems to go through a variety of lines reading system hardware details, ends with
Then hangs, no change if left alone, fans go up to full speed & sounds like a plane taking off. Have to hard reset to power down.
FreeNAS-11.2-U7
Turned the USB stick into an Instant BSOD Machine. Pitched it.
TrueNAS-12.0-U6.1
Then hangs. I left it for over an hour with no change. The PC was quiet and powered off with a simple press of the power button, no hard reset required.
What's going on here? I'm stumped.
