[Solved] NUC shuts down after fresh install ZimaOS

Hi,

I’m using an Intel NUC10i7FNK2 with the latest available firmware. Secure Boot is disabled, and UEFI is enabled in combination with a M.2 Sata WD 240GB

The installation process completes successfully (100%) and prompts me to remove the USB media at the end. Upon reboot, the system uses slot A and begins to load, but then it suddenly shuts down without warning.

I’ve tried several stable builds, but the result remains the same :frowning:

Has anyone experienced this issue or have any idea what might be causing this behavior?

Have you read this?

Hi,

I did try the provided “Installation/Troubleshooting” Guide, but without any success.

In short, this is what I already performed:

  • Intel BXNUC10i7FBK2 with 16 GB RAM and a M.2 Sata WD of 240GB
  • The BIOS is at the latest available version, being FNCML357.0066.2024.1011.0925
  • Performed a ‘clear to default’ of the BIOS settings
  • Current BIOS has following options: ‘Time & date=up-2-date’, ‘Secure Boot=disbaled’, ‘HD mode=AHCI’, ‘UEFI BOOT=enabled’, ‘Intel Virtualization Technology=enabled’, ‘VT-d=enabled’, ‘USB boot=enabled’, ‘1st boot device=USB media’, ‘USB S4/S5 Power= enabled’.
  • Balena Etcher was used to create the bootable USB drive
  • Tried using a Linux Live (ref. Try Ubuntu), but that also performed a shutdown during initial loading.
  • Used several other USB media & USB Ports
  • Max. & balanced power settings
  • Tried the installation on my (older) Lenovo ThinkCentre pc (CPU-i5 & Sata SSD), which worked perfectly, thus the installation media is working just fine.

Given the fact that I also have it with Ubuntu (but not with Proxmox) I don’t have a clue anymore as to what it could be.

If anyone could advice me what to do, I would be very grateful.

For future reference or anybody else facing this issue, I’ve just solved the issue by “turning off Intel Turbo Boost Technology on the Performance → Processor page.”

Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to your future use and sharing of related experiences.
