Bad news - HP lists that error code as system board or CPU. First thing to try is full power down (physically unplugged) then power up (if your Karma is in good shape :-)
Next thing to try is pulling the second CPU and see if it boots (if you're brave) - it may have a bad VRM (onboard on that model) which will limit it to one CPU.
Best course of action if power cycling doesn't work - Let HP deal with it.

I have the HP 8200 as my RP machine and when I came in this morning the darn thing wouldn't boot. All it does is blink an amber light (where the green power light is) 9 times then pause and then blink again.
Any clues? Called Tewks Support andt their answer was, "Never seen that before." Great.
Have to show a director something in 4 hours...and I still need to build it. I can work without the RP, but it's VERY slow and I'm not sure if everything saves correctly.
Thanks!
