    I got a IBM eserver 4500R type 8656 model 5RY from ebay and i worked for about 3 hours then it shutdown so i restarted it and a vrm error showed up so I looked at it and there wasnt one so i emailed the guy an got one from him installed it still got the error, so he sent me a new motherboard still got the error, i bought a new vrm still got the error, so iv looked all over no luck if any one has an idea what could be wrong that would show a vrm error please tell me.

    you have 3 ways:

    - remove CPU1 and install terminator instead of CPU1;
    - replace system board;
    - "buy another server".

    Thats what I've got from [link=http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?message=13870175&cat=53&thread=124935&treeDisplayType=threadmode1&forum=740#13870175]this[/link] website....

    ===================================================
    The integrated VRM on the blade server I/O board has failed.

    1. Replace the blade server cover, reinsert the blade server in the system chassis, and then restart the blade server..
    2. Replace the I/O board.

    well I tried both of those and they didnt work.

    so far I have tried...
    - new motherboard

    - new vrm

    - terminator in cpu 1 slot
