Hi m8, 

Did you proceed basic troubleshooting actions? 

Did you put system to the basic config with one CPU and one memory? 

What is the current configuration?

Piotr,

Yeah i tried with, one processor(just has one anyway), one ram 16gb ,

I have and identical server, so i swapped the 2 RAID HDD, and they boot just fine .

I noticed the Smart Array Check box on the POST screen was unchecked when it froze !

Hi, 

Great you found solution but it strange that server did not boot because of the hdds. Eventually it would POST some error warnings. I would try to update the firmware version for the array controller and try again.
