Possible corrupt bios on a R610
Long story short kinda happened out of the blue I restarted my PowerEdge r610 server and well the bios seem to have failed when it powered up it does configure memory tells you the bios version tells you its a dell power edge r610 and that's it it stopped and stays like that not even the prompts to go into bios come up so to try and fix it I took the CMOS battery out to let it reset which it did so now it comes up with the dell logo but gets to just before half and once again completely stops any idea what the issue could be or how to fix it?

Hi @Callum Simpson,
I would suggest you take the server to its Minimum to POST configuration, which is removing everything from the server (including externally connected devices) except for the below components.
If it works, one of the components which were removed is not working on the server. Install the components back one by one to check the issue.

This seems to have worked it came down in the end to the ram stick on that side the dim slot seems to be a bit faulty/had some stuff blocking contacts and I noticed the clips were not latching in so any small jolts made the ram loose so after fixing the issue with the slot (I think) I replaced all the components piece by piece and surly enough afterwards it booted up perfectly fine still thank you very much for your help!
