The workstation came with the listed specifications, including an Xeon E5 2620 processor, a Seagate HDD with an HD 6670, no RAM, and an 8GB ECC SSD. After some time, the machine would repeatedly power on and off. The seller replaced the motherboard, swapped in a new CPU (E5 2630L), and provided a replacement ECC RAM kit. They stated they tested it overnight before shipping, but the issue persisted even after those changes. People are seeking advice on what might be causing this problem.
