DL380p Gen8 - Orange power but and fast flashing red light, doesnt boot

Hi everyone,
Hope everything is ok with all. First i would like to say sorry for my english, i'm from Portugal and i'm having the a issue wth my server.

My server has beeing working for over 8 months, but last saturday (24/04/2021) i had to moove the server from place so i shutdown the server from VMware and after it shutdown i turned the UPS off and mooved it.

Since then the server dosent turn on.
It does but shuts down emidietly as soon as the lights of the disks and disks start to spin.
I get the a fast flashing red light on the health light next to the power button.
I can enter ILO witch gives me the indication of system health critical but when i press there ot goes to system information where there is a red symbol on BIOS/Hardware Health as Failed.

What could it be?
I leave some photos.
One more thing, i have removed every componente i have on the server e tried putting one by one but it does the same and also tried to use the swap ROM but since it dosent boot, it dosent change the backup ROM.

(ram, cpu, sata controler, disks, nic's, psu, etc..)
I also tried with only one CPU and RAM and also bought new power supplys but does the same.

On the Insight Lights Panel i have no lights on also.
What is more wird is that on my ILO logs i dont have any thing that could indicate what it is.
One more thing i already flashed yesterday with the help of hunter86 to the latest ILO version 2.77.

On iLO overview there is a "Critical" status. When you click on it, it should point you to the IML log line that is causing that "Critical" status.

About the '[Not SET]' , this is due to iLO clock not being synchronized to a NTP source.

When i click on it, it goes to page  Subsystems and Devices (same one on picture 4 on my post), and wheni press on Bios/Hardware health it goes to the IML Log on picture 2.

As IML is reusing the log entries (just updates the timestamps for the error message), the error could be somewhere bellow the point in the screenshot.

Either check all messages or wipe the IML log and power on again to force a new IML log entry.

Ok, so i tried what you ask, wiped the IML Log and tried to turn on the server again and still it didnt register anything on IML log.
ILO Log only registeres when i enter or exit the ILO console or when it restores the power.

What a bummer...

And I guess the "Critical" status still remains ?

I guess you can try:

- remove and reinsert the power cables
- remove and replug the power supply units
- Try to power up with minimum hardware setup.

I've never done it before , so I can't guide you with exact details.
