HP EliteDesk 705 mini PC; not really sure about the specs on the CPU and RAM. Think it’s 8GB ram.
Hopefully it will get through. Not sure what’s going in here. It might be that your hardware is not keeping up, or it could be some kind of intermittent network issue. Let’s hope it works this time
What is the RPC server?
RPC or Remote Procedure Call is a way for different systems to talk to each other. For Bitcoin, RPC can be used to allow a wallet (like Sparrow) to connect to your Bitcoin node for checking balances on addresses, submitting transactions etc.

Whatever is getting it stuck on Starting or causing looping back to starting is going to be explained in the logs (Bitcoin Core → Logs)
But if it keeps happening over and over, there’s something seriously wrong somewhere… from an unstable internet situation… to an unstable power situation… to a bad disk.
I see you had talked about this 9 months ago. I am writing this on May 24, 2005. I had an Internet outage the other day (no power failure - I have an UPS) and now I get the exact same problem you have been discussing here except it is with Bitcoin Knots. I powered everything down and back and the problem persists. How did you resolve the problem back then? I have an off the shelf Start9 Pure 4-32 which I bought a year ago. None of the other services that depend on Knots start up either. 
Can I send you the logs?
If you’re the same person who posted this in the private support server, DM me there.
