I have home storage server, which was upgraded recently to X9SCL-F MoBo, E3-1220v2 CPU and 4x4G RAM modules (Kingston KTH-PL316ES/4G). MoBo is flashed with latest IPMI firmware (3.38) and BIOS (2.20).
PSU is Seasonic G-450 (I know, that it is not server PSU, but it is home server with «desktop»-style case!). Storage subsystem is 5x3TB Toshiba DT01ACA300 HDDs (for data, at SATA ports 2-6) and Samsung 750EVO 240G SSD for system & ZFS L2ARC on SATA port 1. No additional controllers are installed.
All this hardware (case, PSU, storage) is transferred from previous version of this server, which was build arounf P45-based MoBo and Q9550 CPU. It worked flawlessly with this «old» hardware
This «new» system works well until I run CrashPlan backup client (which I use for many years already).
When CrashPlan is running, system hangs completely after some time (from several tens of minutes to several days). I mean, it is not OS crash or hang-up, when kernel debugger works. It is complete hardware hang-up. Even «Reset» button or/and IPMI command doesn't work (first in my life!). Only power cycle is able to reset system. IPMI works, though.
When system is hanged up, IPMI shows that all voltages are Ok, temperature is Ok, everything is Ok. Seconds before hang up CPU temperature reported by OS is like 32-35°C, which looks great. HDDs are perfectly healthy and SMART doesn't show any errors.
I could not reproduce this hang-up with any synthetic load: read all data from HDDs and compiling system with a lot of parallel jobs at same time don't trigger this behavior.
Memory looks good, as I've run memtest86 (free version) for 8 passes (10 hours) without any problem.
PSU power should be enough, as it runs flawlessly with "hotter" CPU and MoBo (old P45-based Mobo with external NIC and Video and Q9550 CPU).
Is it here something known about this MoBo what could cause such behavior? Maybe, I've misconfigured BIOS in some way? Maybe, here is something what can I try to diagnose this problem?
Unfortunately, I don't have resources to try other Mobo with this CPU and memory.
I'm using FreeBSD, but it doesn't look like software problem.
I've read thread about this MoBo has problems with additional ROMs, but I don't have any problems with booting and I don't have additional controllers. Also, BIOS 2.20 is newer than one which has problems.
