The NAS build stopped working of posting.
The NAS build stopped working of posting.
I recently installed a Truenas NAS for my home and it functioned properly for about a month. Then suddenly it stopped working. I've checked each part one by one and tried booting without success. I also removed the CMOS battery, but nothing appears to be working. My system is an MSI B550 motherboard with a Rysen 3600 CPU and 64GB teamgroup DDR4 RAM in 16GB sticks.
The system is not posting, so I can't install anything right now.
Precisely what you're asking about the "won't POST" behavior?
Are you referring to a situation where it attempts to post but fails repeatedly, restarting instead?
Or is it about powering up with everything working except the screen appearing until it boots normally?
Could it mean that it actually posts and lets you access the BIOS, but you can't start the operating system because it freezes or restarts?
What exactly is happening in these scenarios?
It starts up but no display appears. The monitor attempts to activate, thinking it should show something, yet it reverts to standby and nothing shows.
Ensure everything remains stable and seems operational, yet nothing displays on the screen.
What is the type of graphics card you're using, its age, and the precise model of the power supply you're connecting it to, along with its own age? Have you considered using another graphics card? It's worth noting that the Ryzen 3600 lacks an internal graphics unit, so linking a display cable to the motherboard won't help with that CPU.
The GPU is a Gigabyte GTX 2070 roughly four years old, previously used elsewhere. The power supply is an RMX850x, possibly two years old but never used before being installed in the NAS. I don't have another GPU available since my only option is a 3080ti, which is too large for the case. The NAS operated continuously for about a month before it ceased functioning suddenly.
It seems like the power supply unit, motherboard, or CPU might be dead. I’d switch to a different PSU. If it still won’t start, then replace the motherboard. Since this PSU has never been used, it might be a faulty unit you didn’t realize existed. This isn’t uncommon for electronics to fail very early on.
