Microserver Gen8 replacement

[A[L]C]

Hi all,

I currently have a gen 8 microserver (Xeon E3-1220 v2, 8gb ram) which has developed a NMI general hardware fault. I am currently running memtest and it halted with unexpected interrupt Ha245nh CPU0. From reading, it sounds like if it was a ram issue then memtest would continue to run, however mine crashed (red led on the front of the server). So I'm guessing its cpu/motherboard/psu.

It's out of warranty so I expect I'm going to have to replace it - what's the best option for under £300?

Ah ok, it's been over a year since I bought the microserver so assumed there would've been a better alternative by now. Thanks.

Ok thanks. Now to decide if it's worth changing parts out or just buying a new chassis.

Yes I think I've got the original somewhere, will give it a go thank you

Ok, so I've swapped out the cpu to the original, but still receiving NMI errors. Latest one was in the provisioning setup (F10), so not windows related.

ILO reports
Unrecoverable System Error (NMI) has occurred. System Firmware will log additional details in a separate IML entry if possible
User Initiated NMI Switch

Not sure why it says User initiated?

Anything else I can try or do you think it needs to be replaced?

How much hardware have you got in your system, memory, expansion cards, hard drives?

Also.. what OS are you using?

2x4gb ram, no expansion, 1x SSD and 3x 3.5" hdd's.

Currently on windows 10, but saw the same with server 2016

Try swapping the RAM.

I've tested each stick on it's own and get the same issue.

Thanks, but I've had the issues before the ssd (power cut took out a hard drive, hence me putting in the ssd)
