My 8 year old HP Proliant Microserver decided not continue talking to me after a reboot this afternoon. Still powers up, no audible beeping, but no video output and no longer appearing on the network. Have pulled a couple of the drives,popped them in a USB enclosure and can access the data so no data loss.

 

Any suggestions, or should I just accept the fact it's met its demise?

BIOS / CMOS reset via jumper or button on the motherboard?  Find a manual with instructions on this.

 

Remove or unplug all cards and drives except for one stick of RAM.... and if no change, remove the RAM and try another stick.  It can be a connected device causing the failure to POST.

@dynamic Thanks so much for that advice. It worked a treat. Reset the CMOS via jumper. No obvious memory issue. All now working again 😀
