Dear Community,
I just bought Components for a server and encounter many crashes.
The Components are:
During installation of Ubuntu server, I encountered crash after crash, freeze after freeze. Sometimes it would spit out a message, Often related to the CPU or its LVL2 cash, sometimes to the ram as well and often all kinds of errors.
Also during changing bios settings I encountered one freeze.
I booted from a Live/Test usb stick and performed Memtest. No error.
I switched through 3 Bars of ram in different setups and memory slots. With one ram in a specific slot I was able to get the Ubuntu installation through. In the Terminal, I encountered a memory error (which was corrected)
So far the Machine runs up to a few Hours. After which I cannot reach the computer via SSH Terminal anymore. My network infrastructure cannot see the device. All fans are still spinning, the gpu is hot.
At this point my best guess is a dead CPU
I switched through multiple bars of ram, tried installing on two separate SSD Drives. The mainboard is brand new, the CPU however was bought used from a large electronics dealer. It had a "tested" seal on it. I could not find any issue with the pins upon visual inspection after taking it out of its packaging.
What are your Thoughts on this? (before I open rma on the cpu)
