As a newbie I got a fairly inexpensive system for my first FreeNAS with following specs:
  • ASROCK J3455-ITX Motherboad+CPU
  • 3* 4TB Seagate Ironwolf HDD
  • 2* 32 GB USB stick for Installatin Mediums
  • 8 GB DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM we had lying around
So I prepared an installation stick and it didn't boot....

THE WORKAROUND
In the UEFI of the motherboard you have to disable C-States and enable CSM.
Every time you boot in FreeNAS you have to edit GRUB, that is the little window where you can choose how you want to boot.
So if get to GRUB you have to press e and add following Lines:
Code:
set kFreeBSD.machdep.disable_msix_migration=1
set kFreeBSD.hint.hpet.0.per_cpu=0
set kFreeBSD.hint.hpet.0.clock=0

When you get in the Web GUI you can add the parameters (without kFreeBSD.) under System->Tunables, so you do not have to add them every time your NAS reboots.......
I hope this helps
