NMI detected. System Halted - during bios flash

Hi All,

Im working on a second intel server R2216GZ4GC and trying to update the BIOS so I can use E5-2600 V2 CPUs.

Intel shipped me an older E5-2600 processor which I installed in CPU Slot 1 and one DIMM in memory slot A1. The BMC BIOs is updated successfully and then the chassis BIOs update start and it errors with "NMI detected. System Halted". I've tried different DIMMS but the update always stops at this same point. I have successfully updated the BIOs in a similar intel server with this CPU, memory and the same Flash drive so I know that is good.

Memory is

Kingston ValueRAM

Memory - 16 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1600 MHz / PC3-12800 - CL11 - 1.5 V

- registered - ECC - Intel Memory Validation Program

KVR16R11D4/16I

Any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks.

I worked on this later in the day yesterday and just ran the bios.nsh instead of startup.nsh from the EFI command prompt and that worked. Fixed.
