I've had my X5000 working great for quite a while now. After being turned off for several weeks it no longer boots anything. It will power up and show the initial X5000 screen, the boing ball will spin and it will then turn to a gray screen and sit. If I do nothing it will reset itself and repeat back to the X5000 logo. I can interrupt the boing ball and get into u-boot and interact just fine. If I load OS4 from u-boot menu It shows "Loading finished ######################### 100%" message comes up after a short time. The next Line reads: "About to call loader entry at 0x7BD02020" at which point it just hangs there.
NO media will boot into OS4. The original CD, my recovery USB stick, or the SSD in it with OD4 installed. The last time I used my system it was fine. I didn't make any changes to it. It's sat and now doesn't work.
The odd thing, if I put in the other GPU I have that supports MorphOS and connect the 2nd SSD I have with a clean install of MorphOS on it, it boots fine into that. SO... This is something OS4 related it seems that came up from nowhere. I now have my system back to stock and am still trying to get it to boot into OS4.

Saw the DDR sticks showing as not the same, which isn't accurate so I replaced them with another set. The original set was in first, then the newer set. Same issue with loading, but they both reported the same. Tried with just one stick and no change.

Looks like the Kickstart is loading but is getting stuck after that. You should be seeing the X5K logo on the monitor during the start-up process.
Can you interrupt the startup and get to the uboot shell? There is a setting for Amiga OS quiet boot. I forget the exact tag but it's easy to find with "printenv".
I would try another video card. Squirrly things happens if the video card has an issue.
A few months ago my X5K died due to the video card giving up the ghost.
Hey Acill, I might be wrong, but from the serial log I don't think it recognizes your HD. Do you have any installed? If not, do you have the boot CD in the dvd drive? If that doesn't work, when you tried with the boot USB, you selected to "Boot from mass storage" at the boot menu, right? Did you connect the USB at the first USB port, at the back, top in the row, closer to the back of the tower?
Keep on using the serial connection because it will help you with messages.
yup did over at amiga.org thread as that’s exactly what fixed my X1000 but that’s not the case unfortunately with this particular X5000
...have a feeling it could be SATA cable or DVD drive else MB needs fixing from A-Eon so either way lucky they are a still being made brand new as I type this
It would seem that one dd3 stick is wrong (might report a wrong size) remove the stick that reports 6GB, remove all unnecessary hard drives and usb devices (for booting) and try that, it shouln't complain about the memory (just remembered, do you have to have pairs of dd3 sticks?)
IF you then get the stripped down system to boot begin adding back one item at the time.

Its 8 Gbytes stick, as I read it UBOOT only uses 2GBytes, 6GBytes is unmapped, aka not used. So nothing wrong.
In my opinion as someone who has done a lot of troubleshooting on a x5000 the easiest thing to do is unplug the hard drives, and just try booting from the boot cd. If you have a boot usb then unplug the dvd drive as well as the HD's and try booting from that. this will get rid of any issues where the system is trying to boot off of the wrong drive.
As for the RAM issue. I noticed that and posted the 2nd serial log because it was reading the RAM bad or something I though in the first. I am not mixing RAM and they are in pairs. The first set is a pair of 2GB sticks from Corsair that the machine shipped with. The other is a pair of HyperX 8GB that was working perfectly before all this and was recommended and tested from AOTL for X5000 use.
The USB devices installed are only the keyboard and mouse. The other stuff its showing is the internal USB headers and ports. Nothing USB is connected.
I have tried with my DVD out, HDD out, USB stick in upper slot, CD install disk, all are the same result as this.
I have used new SATA cables, changed ports, no change.
I have replaced the CR22 coin cell with a new one that I measured the voltage on and was a good 3.4V
I tried a new HDD and it wont boot from USB or CD to get to the point of installing as mentioned, so no good.
I have tried with three different video cards. #1 it shipped new with was a R250X (7750) #2 is a HD6950, #3 was the primary card id been using with the newer enhancer 2.0 beta and drivers and is a 560. I know the last card wont boot from the CD and work, buiut the other two should, and #1 has several times before. I have restored my system a few times in the past from CD and USB.
As I mentioned, I can replace the GPU with the 6950 and put in my MorphOS HDD and it boots into it perfectly, so its SOMETHING to do with OS4.1 or something in U-Boot that magicly change while powered off for the last couple weeks I was gone on work trips that's caused this.
I got fed up and packed it away, so no idea what to do, and A-eon isn't really helping much. Trevor asked me to do a lot of what you all said, and its not changed anything.

I'm really sorry to hear that - must be a frustrating experience
Given the price of the X5000, it should go without saying that the sales of the machine be coupled with top-notch service. Otherwise the platform will lose all credibility and we'll get no new users.
