ProLiant Gen8 stuck at post (code 0114)

I bought a secondhand Proliant Gen8 microserver (Intel Pentium G2020T) which cannot seem to boot and stays stuck at 90% post with message "Memory and QPI Link Initialization Start" and status code 0114.

I read this must be related to the DIMMS so I have tried removing one of the two dimms, swaping them, tried all slots and combinations with no luck.

I also read that the system does not support registered dimms. However, my dimms (which look like they are the default certified hp) have this reference: 4GB 2RX4 PC3-10600R-9-10-JP. If I read this correctly, this means the dimms are registered memory and thus non compatible with the system.

Assuming this must be the problem, I ordered new unregistered dimms online. These new ones have for reference 8GB 2RX8 PC3-12800U-11-13-B1. But no luck either, the system still doesn't boot.

I have checked the CPU for a bent pin but everything looked fin. Also cleaned it just in case.

I also have access to the ILO.

Anyone would have a clue about my issue? Is there a chance I bought the wrong rams? Can the problem come from somewhere else?

What ProLiant Gen8 model do you have and what CPU model is installed?

It's a Proliant Gen8 microserver with a Intel Pentium G2020T. Hope that's all the info you need?

Unfortunately, the HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 requires Unbuffered DIMMs with ECC (this is a sore spot with me because in some locations of the quickspecs it just says "DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM)", without mentioning the ECC requirement, but I digress). See the quickspecs for the supported memory part numbers for your CPU type:

So this must be the reason then. I will order ecc-udimms and see if that fixes the problem.

Thank you for your help!
