Hey guys,
I’m a developer and kinda new to the whole hardware stuff.
I build a Server with a Asus Z10PE-D8 WS and two Xeon E5-2643 v3. A gtx 980 Ti is in the 2nd PCIe slot.
1000W be quiet PSU
The whole thing is kinda weird.
When I turn it on, it runs for 2 secs, turns off, turns on again and then I get a asus screen with a beep sound. It wants me to enter the setup to recover the BIOS setting.
Sometimes the BIOS settings are saved sometimes not.
I think I enabled secure booting or something and
at some point I managed to let it boot my Ubuntu boot stick and I did the whole Ubuntu installation but at the moment where u have to get the boot stick out and press enter to reset, I entered a passive black screen state.
I turned it off and the BIOS settings are at the state of the beginning.
The biggest issue is this passive black screen state.
Sometimes I get the asus screen with the beep sound, sometimes just the black screen.
This whole thing is so inconsistent and weird.
I already updated my BIOS to the current version.
I’ve read that the CMOS battery could be the problem, but it isn’t that old tbh.
I’ve also read something about RAM problems.
I put 8 x 8GB RDIMM inside.
Thanks for your help
