I'm now on my third ASRock C2550D4I. The first one died because of the infamous issue with BMC, and the RMA replacement was DOA. The third one POSTed when I did a quick test and I kind of just left it in the server closet since I had other hardware. That was 6 months ago. Tonight I decided to fire up the old C2550D4I and I can't get past the "System initializing..." screen. I know that means something is wrong on the MB, and I've tested the remove CMOS battery and power connections and one stick of RAM. The thing I haven't seen mentioned here about this issue is that the CPU and motherboard are really hot. When my system was working it was always cool to the touch, but this non-functioning board gets uncomfortably hot even though it can't even POST. IPMI reports the MB temp is over 130°F. Any ideas what could do that?
