Bootproblems Supermicro M11SDV-8CT-LN4F + Broadcom MegaRAID 9260-8i

[haudegen1993]

Hey Guys,
i hope this is the right forum and u can help me
i have the combination: Supermicro M11SDV-8CT-LN4F + Broadcom MegaRAID 9260-8i, with 32gb dual channel ddr4 2133 regECC and 4x Seagate Ironwolf 500GB 125 NAS SSD in Raid 10.

My problem is - the mainboard and raid controller combination confuses me.

i tried uefi only, legacy only and dual mode in bios - tested all bios settings, disabled everything i dont need - nothing helps...

in uefi mode: sometimes windows boots up but most of the time system start hangs at: DXE--Bios PCI Bus Enumeration 92, sometimes it hangs at Ready to Boot....

in legacy mode: most of the time it says: F/W is in Fault State - MFI Register State 0xFFFFFFF F/W has indicated system reset is required. System will reboot now...
other times it loads firmware up and i see the drives and virtual drive, but it reboots too.

i have tested another 9260-8i to exclude an faulty raid controller, but no.
the first one has firmware around august 2013, the other one the latest firmware (around mid 2015)

whats really confusing is, that sometimes i can boot into windows, install drivers, etc. but the next time i reboot, its happening all over again...


i hope u have some hints for me.

What power supply are you using? Is it able to cope with the load?

yeah its way oversized 550w cooler master mwe gold v2 atx 2.52
this night, the problem didnt gave me peace - so i thought - the heatsink on the lsi controller is hot like hell - so i decided to test to cool it down with a little 80mm fan blowing on it.
now im at like 9 of 10 successful (re)boots

cpu temp is totally fine - cinebench r23 run: cpu tctl/tdie max 58°C - cpu die average max 89°C --- but like 10 min cinebench runs arent the normal usage

im wondering why this time the lsi controller temps are such a big problem. i have severals of them running, even in normal tower cases with no direct airflow onto it with no problems.
