I’ve had this server in production for near 4 years.
It recently started completely locking up. No blue screen, just locked. When it happens, the “internal health LED” on the front turns amber, and the “CPU 1 Error LED” lights.
The problem is intermittant, and various diagnostics all show everything as fine. The only error that is logged is a basic “ASR Detected by System ROM”. (automated system recovery).
My question is, would you think that this is nearly certain to be a CPU failure such that replacing the CPU would solve the problem? Or is that CPU error light not such a conclusive indicator? I can’t see any other path, but I don’t want to start dumping money chasing an unknown problem if I can help it.
Thanks for any insight!
