      Hello Professionals,

      I bought XG-1537 with fiber 10G x4 NIC.
      for some reason, I need to change fiber port to ethernet port, so I opened up the device and replaced the NIC card (bought from Netgate).

      However, after I change the NIC card, PFSense fails to boot up.
      It is stopped on state:
      TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics

      Firewall recognize Keyboard & mouse are connected, but nothings work. I'm not able to type anything...

      Is there any other way that I re-image OS?

      I appreciate your comment.

        Does it boot into the BIOS setup successfully?

        Does it stop at that same point if you try to boot the reinstall image?

          Hello, Thank you for reaching me.
          I re-installed using memstick, and it gave me same situation.
          I tried 2 more times USB booting the result was same, so I let it be for 30+ minutes.
          Luckly it is up after 30+ minutes automatically.

          My config file has wiped out, but I'm happy.

          Thank you so much.
