Hey there, I'm trying to set up this mainboard with an Intel Xeon Silver 4310 for a server. The first boot went well, but after a few power cycles it wouldn't boot consistently and the debug message appears as -A. I don’t have any manual guides for this issue. A standard boot should start with a -9, which isn’t documented either. I’ve experimented with other CPUs, different boards, and changed settings like RAM count, PSU type, etc. The problem usually occurs after about 5 power cycles, around 10 cycles, and it stops working. Even after those attempts, Proxmox ran fine for a week without issues, even during power cycles. Now we’re using a BeQuiet system power supply of 700W because the previous SFX PSU only had one CPU power and the board supports 8+4 channels. Thanks in advance for any help or clarification on what -A means.
