After running for 2.5 years, I’ve got a hardware issue and my system won’t boot. Tried a new motherboard, same model with no luck. Tried a new power supply with same result. I get power to the board, based on the standby light on the board, but it doesn’t post and I don’t even get bios beeps. I have another couple things to try but I’m wondering if I upgrade a bit, newer board and faster processor how much the OS will complain about that. Anyone ever done that before?
In my experiences, no issue with fresh install and a system config restore.

It would help a bit if you post your current TrueNAS hardware, software version and pool setup.
Yep. Only issue is that my NIC showed up with a different name, so I needed to reconfigure it–easy enough through the console menu.

Hardware is an i5 ghz quad-core CPU, Intel DH67BL board, 16 GB RAM, 550 watt power supply in a CoolMaster N400 Case. I don’t recall the build of truenas, but I have a pair of mirrored SSD’s to boot from. The data pool is setup with raidz2 or 3 across 7 3TB WD SATA drives.
I guess hit the documentation section for Hardware and start figuring out what you want to try. Upgrade time.
