Hello
Proliant DL380 G8 had powered off mysteriously 1 or two times at about 00:00 at night. Booted back up allright by just pressing power button. Now happened again and cannot start anymore. It does try for a fraction of a second but instantly cuts power and system led flashes red, which means system critical fault, right?
Ilo is the only thing that is working. Cannot switch to backup bios because the boot process has to begin to be able to switch. I tried removing everthing from the board, still only powers on for 1/4 sec.
I did download IML log from ILO and have a code that needs decoding, (see below, error 98) also interesting that system time apparently got reset to 1/1/1970 on the last "98" error after the final crash.
I have tried removing cmos battery, shorting pins, jumper nr. 6 on, removing every component from the mainboard but still shutdown in 1/4 sec.
Currently I have the mainboard loose in my hands and visually inspecting, dont see anything suspicious.
