LP 2000r BIOS Hang

[MattBruce]

My LP 2000r hangs at the BIOS after clearing its RAM. I've cleared the CMOS and updated BIOS, both to no avail. There are no error messages or POST beeps. The server was working fine until I removed the riser board to install an HP NetRAID-2M card, and after that it wouldn't boot back up, even now that I've removed the RAID card. Anyone with an idea to a solution/workaround your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds as if it is not completing the POST. That is not good. Something is wrong in the system. Try removing and reseating everything in the system now. CPU, memory, riser, all cards and the PS.

I had reseated 3 of the 4 RAM sticks before, but after your reply I went ahead and was going to reset the last one, when I took the stick out though it had what looks like a small electrical burn on it. And now that I've removed that stick the machine runs (though it seems to be very very slow now). Thanks for the help.
