My HP ProLiant DL360P G8 started acting wierd after I started it up for the first time since last year. When it turns on it enters POST but gets stuck on "Memory and QPI Initialization Start" with status code 0168 and percentage 20%. It does not progress any futher after this point.
I've tried to clear CMOS and NVRAM via both removing CMOS battery, PSU and toggling maintenance switch #6, updating BIOS, reseated/removed and even tested without memory. I've also tried to use the redundant ROM via switches #1, #5, #6 with no success, nothing on screen only beeps. If I try to switch ROM via ILO 4 nothing happens. I've yet to find something simular to my problem online, any advise?
Specs:
- 1 Intel Xeon E5-2620
- 2x HP 16GB RDIMM 647653-081 in slot 1 and 12
- 2x HP 4GB RDIMM 647647-071 in slot 4 and 9
Nothing else attached except for built in raid card and HP NIC
