Hi @RayPatel ,

 

this error happens when the processor is changed or the processor not match with power requirements.

Ray,

 

Have you changed the processor from what that workstation came with from the HP factory? If so, with what processor.

 

Second, have you changed the CPU heatsink or its fan from what came with it?
