Dell PowerEdge R710 Lights blink on then turns off and blinks on again... repeat
I'm having problems with a Dell Power edge R710, It was working with 2 quad cores and 40GB of ram. I then put two X5670 in it, and filled up all the dims with 4 GB server ram sticks, and now its just flashing, the little display is flashing, power button flashing, and HDD bays flashing, no beeping or anything, it's just turning on and then turning off. before I start taking it apart ram stick by ram stick does any one know what this could be?

Hello.
Review the hardware logs for more information. Otherwise, ensure that you system BIOS, NICs and iDRAC firmware is up to date.

I'm curious if you got this solved. I just ran into the same thing. Best I could come up with was the new processor is the issue.

Can you share processor and memory details from the server? Can you check whether you have supported memory configuration on the server server. You can refer "System Memory" section on page 129 of below link for supported memory configurations
