I had received the products some time back and setup a NAS system using TrueNAS. But I am facing random crashes of the system. I have ruled out pretty much everything, tried multiple OSs, including windows (to rule out driver issues). I have tried two different power supplies, including a brand new one. Have tried two different RAM sticks. The crashes leave no logs, which means they are hardware related.

Messaged the seller last night, but haven't received any response yet (may be he is travelling or busy elsewhere). Have spent nearly a month trying to isolate the issue. The system crashes even with a completely new OS install. The only two things I am now not sure of are the motherboard and CPU. Can anyone here suggest a solution for this? Any way I can check which of the two, motherboard or CPU, is the problem component?
 
@puns what are my options in this case? I had given positive feedback based on the fact that the system worked. I had not tested it by running the PC for some time. Can I change the feedback now to negative based on the fact that the seller may have dumped a defective product? He is completely unresponsive for last two days.
 
Was busy earlier and did not get time to respond. I was using this exact system as my NAS for quiet a long time, probably more than 2 years. The reason was selling was to go for 12th gen for the intel transcoding upgrades. The symptoms that you are explaining could be over tightning of cpu heatsink or ram. Did you try reseating the cpu and the heatsink?

Coming back after more than a month and blaming me saying i've dumped a defective product is uncalled for! The system I upgraded to was doing the same (ASUS Tuf B760M-E D4 with 12500T). Random reboots with truenas and zpool beind degraded until i reseated the cpu and heatsink and ram, you can try and see if that resolves the issue.
 
I have not reseated the CPU, had to change the cooler as I did not like the temps on CPU (80+ just running parity on two 12TB drives). With the cooler temps in TrueNAS dropped to 40.

As for blaming you, I did message you two days back asking for suggestions. There was no blame in that message at all. I even posted a message here hoping to get your attention and suggestions from others on what might be causing this issue. Also, I tried everything possible from my side before raising this issue even with you. During the deal you would respond within a few hours, hence no response for more than two days was a red flag.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try reseating the CPU and cooler. I just want this system to work without taking any more time.
 
try to see if its something you can fix or get it checked by someone else or a technician.
As for review, it is assumed that upon receipt of product, testing has to be done soon or whatever is agreed to between both parties.

I changed the CPU cooler with another brand new one, this time replacing the cooler master with deepcool Ak400, and tried with different screws tightness levels. But it has made zero difference to the crashes. Its crashing exactly in the same way.
Now I have spent as much on different new parts as I paid for this deal.
@rajch2002 anything else that I can try to stop the crashes?
