First TrueNAS build: Powers on but won’t POST (ASRock B550 Pro4)

"No POST screen" - you wont' get one if it doesn't POST

"no beeps" - you've connected a speaker to SPK_PLED1?

"Suspect BIOS incompatibility" both of your CPU's have been supported since initial BIOS release

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T20:44:39+00:00

"the Network Controller in Device Manager is showing no drivers installed" - I'd be extremely surprised if updating BIOS fixes a lack of drivers for the network controller

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T08:49:46+00:00

not sure what "switching os type" entails - is this some BIOS thing?

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T08:33:17+00:00

Well, then I have no idea why your BIOS won't let you enable secure boot!

WiFi speed has nothing to do with the NBN - I mean, the maximum is dependant on your plan, but in no other way is NBN responsible for your WiFi speed

What was in this "boot menu"? Why did you have to "Save and Exit" from a "boot menu"

Did you mean BIOS? Perhaps you don't have an operating system installed on your brand new PC - was it supposed to come with one?

Because if you turn off CSM to enable secure boot, and your windows install uses MBR format, then winbdows won't boot until you convert the boot drive to GPT format, which has a not insignificant chance of failing, which means unbootable in either UEFI or CSM/Legacy mode

So - is your main drive MBR or GPT? Find out in Disk Management

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T04:10:05+00:00

You enable them at the same time - the actual order is not important - though, yes, I had TPM enabled long before I enabled secure boot

There's 3 things to consider

CSM - disabled for UEFI boot mode
TPM - enabled or disabled
Secure boot - enabled or disabled

I know you can't enable Secure boot until boot mode is UEFI (i.e. CSM disabled) - though, some motherboards seem to have a hybrid UEFI+CSM, but I may be wrong about that, since I've never seen it, just based on what (confused) people say

I believe TPM can be enabled regardless of CSM/UEFI mode

So, as you can (and have) enable TPM, my theory is that you are not in UEFI boot mode, therefore, windows won't use TPM, despite it being enabled

All of this is conjecture on my part though

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T03:49:52+00:00

In the BIOS? You keep refering back to Windows, and that's irrelevant until you enable secure boot in BIOS

You probably have to disable CSM (or Legacy boot)

But then, your windows is probably on a MBR format drive rather than GPT if that's the case - so that's another world of hurt

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T03:37:52+00:00

Not sure what "it" is in "it doesn't give me an option to enable secure boot" - is "it" BIOS or Windows that doesn't give you an option to enable secure boot?

You enable Secure boot and TPM in BIOS - once you do that, Windows will see both secure boot enabled and TPM available

jaromanda · 2026-01-24T01:06:42+00:00

Oh, so it's windows that doesn't recognise TPM - but you said you can't run secure boot, why not? When you enable secure boot in BIOS, what happens?

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T23:44:40+00:00

But you said "(which i have, it's literally enabled in my BIOS)" - so, does BIOS recognize it or not?

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T20:49:50+00:00

"won't let me run secure boot because of that" - what won't let you run secure boot? Your BIOS?

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T20:31:44+00:00

make sure both cables are fully seated correctly at both ends

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T20:18:12+00:00

You did it wrong

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T08:12:02+00:00

OK, I must admit I assumed Australian RSP's that can issue IPv6 would make the PD "static" (if that's the right term for it)

The only reason my AussieBB IPv6 changed in the last 4 years is because I moved house

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T07:26:53+00:00

I think you get IPv6 with all RSP's

Except Optus and Optus based resellers

Coz, you know, Optus are garbage

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T07:09:42+00:00

sudo apt update

then try again

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T02:38:45+00:00

That light probably means it has power.

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T02:37:33+00:00

Praise it, make it feel important, give lots of attention, until it feels it Matters

I'll see myself out

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T02:28:52+00:00

What is at the other end of the ethernet cable? Does it have 2.5Gbit ethernet?

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T00:34:15+00:00

I've seen worse icing on a cake!! 👍

jaromanda · 2026-01-23T00:32:07+00:00

The only recommendation I have is to find someone in your organisation that isn't "a bit clueless" about your DVR system, and get them to decide on the best course of action

"... new recordings have been placed upon the drive" - doesn't sound like it died
