Hello friends!
Have just built an ESXi whitebox.
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 6100
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT USB3
RAM: Corsair Value Series 2*8GB 1333 MHz 1.5V
PSU: Corsair CX 430V3
Will try to keep myself short.
The build installs and runs ESXI fine with 1 vm (Windows Server 2012).
Or it doesn't run fine. The thing is, anywhere in the process from boot to going live it can freeze.
Most common though is that it freezes after some time online.
It can happen after five minutes, also after one hour.
Symptom: It is like a blue flashing/blinking line across the screen. The same thing can also happen by the text on the screen. Like a blue shadow flashing/blinking.
While this happens, you cannot ping the server. Not use keyboard on the host.
I have tried other RAMs without any result. Tried the 8*2GB ram in my other computer which seems to work just fine.
Also tried installing Windows Server 2012 (as main OS) on the ESXi computer and it doesn't seem to crash (haven't tried for more than maybe three hours though).
I did enable virtulization in the bios as well.
I dont really know if the problem is the mobo/psu/cpu. Don't really think it is the RAM at this moment, can't be too sure though.
Any answer is amazing!
Thank you guys!
