One of my old HP DL585 had a similar issue but it turned out that the DIMM slots were at fault. The server chassis had few led blinking red for those DIMM slots and indicating that they are faulty. I removed the memory from those slot and re-inserted them to the spare DIMM slots and everything is working fine since then.
Hi, there Vipul, old buddy, old pal.... I've *got* an HP DL580 G5 that was spitting ECC errors, too. It was fully populated, both the m/b and the four risers. I took my best guess last week and pulled one mirrored pair of memory (OP: make sure that memory isn't mirrored - then you have to pull at *least* two), replaced them with two from a riser... and then had to take out *two* of the four risers.
Now, on an HP support list, someone left a message over the weekend that I should do a BIOS update... except all I can find is a DOS .exe to do it, *and* there's a comment about needing to install previous BIOS updates.... You don't happen to know if I do need to install the previous update?
mark, looking into a freedos USB key solution....I think the "emergency boot cd" contains bootable freedos images...
was looking for a URL for it, and I find many things under that name, but I'm not sure that any of them is the one I'm thinking of. I'll post again if I find it.
Hmm. this may be what I was thinking of, though I think the one I have at home has a different menu. nevertheless, this may help...:
