Power-On Self-Test (POST) error on PowerEdge R7515
Hello everyone,
I am getting the following error on the DELL server PowerEdge R7515:
A high-severity issue has occurred at the Power-On Self-Test (POST) phase which has resulted in the system BIOS to abruptly stop functioning.
This error happens from time to time. It is random. After I reboot the server, it works fine. What should be my next step? I did not have any bios updates lately.
Kind regards,
Danko

Hello,
Random is a hard one to troubleshoot.
Is there anything in common when this issue occurs?
Are there any parts that were not on the original build?
Initially I can recommend to make sure the firmware is up to date and run the built in hardware diagnostics.
*Update firmware
PowerEdge: Update Firmware Via HTTPS Using iDRAC 7-8-9
PowerEdge: How to Update Firmware Remotely Using the iDRAC Web Interface | Dell USPowerEdge: How to Update Firmware Remotely Using the iDRAC Web Interface | Dell US
*Run hardware diagnostics
Boot to <F10> LifeCycle Controller and run the Diagnostics. Note any errors and continue testing.
