207-Mem Init Failure only when rebooting from OS

So I have a DL380 G8, 2 CPUs installed, 8 Sticks of 16GB RDIMM.

 

From a cold boot it initilizes all the memory fine but as soon as I reboot from the linux shell it always fails to initilize the 12th slot of CPU 2. Turning the server off completely and doing a cold boot results in a normal POST without the requirement to reseat the RAM or anything.

 

EDIT: I have tried swapping RAM sticks and reflashing the P70 BIOS without any success. It is always Slot 12 on Processor 2 that fails to detect after a reboot from any OS not just Unix based ones.

Re: 207-Mem Init Failure only when rebooting from OS

After some more testing and replacing some more components it turned out that the CPU was somehow faulty.
Replacing it fixed this issue.
