Weird garbled text after OS boots up
Hello,
I have a R730 that I am trying to install a new OS onto. So far I have tried Unraid, Proxmox and TrueNAS. All the OS install just fine, but when they boot up the text goes into a weird garbled screen that is unintelligible. The attached image is from booting TrueNAS, which should just be a simple text menu. Proxmox and Unraid both do similar screens, but have a red stripe on top.
So far I have tried resetting the iDRAC, resetting the BIOS, booting into BIOS and UEFI, etc.
All the drivers and firmwares are updated. I'm at a loss here. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community.
I'm thinking this actually might be a monitor issue. Could you try with another monitor and see if it's still the same?

@DELL-Young E
Hello,
This happens on any monitor and the virtual console as well.

This server is not compatible with the OS you mentionned.
If the issue is only present in the OS, please install one of any supported OS in the list below

@DELL-Marco B Thank you for that list. The weird part is that TrueNAS is actually running and can be logged into the web UI, but anything on the actual server shows up garbled like the photo.

Hello, do you have an extra VGA card connected? If not we might have to consider an motherboard fault, I'm afraid.
