T3500 Error Code Pb7
So I have a T3500, was running normally, unplugged a RepRap 3d printer that I had just finished building, about 5 seconds later the computer died, on re-starting it flashes the Pb7 error code, which translates to:
| ACPI S0, hand off to BIOS control |
System on. BIOS not execution. This is the transition state to POST states. |
according to the service manual.
I've tried powercycling, resetting the BIOS, swapping around RAM sticks, adding/removing PCIe cards, nothing helps. Has anyone else had this issue and been able to fix it/could suggest possible fixes? The workstation was acquired second hand so it's out of warranty and we really can't afford to replace things.
Thanks in advance for any help,
// RG

I know this is a year old - however, I'm upgrading one for a customer, installing an X5650 chip, and getting the same error, I suspect Dud CPU.

"BIOS must be updated BEFORE changing CPU." - this one is fair obvious - and was performed before changeover.
You seem to have been looking at the same page I was.
Multimeter confirmed that voltages were fine.
Thankyou - I can confirm that it's not just me - there may well be something wrong with the CPU.

Solid Amber — System fault(Motherboard), but +5VSB Power Supply is good—normal operating state (S0)
BIOS must be updated BEFORE changing CPU.
Pb7 is dead motherboard/cpu

Were you able to resolve it?

Yes it was resolved - the CPU was malfunctioning.
I obtained another X5650 and replaced it with complete success.
