Thanks Rich,l Stewart & Rich...

 

We tried everything you all suggested, but nada. And Rich T, where did you find that info for the error code? I looked all over the HP site!

 

Anyway, it IS the motherboard and HP is coming out withing the next 24 hours to repair it (replace it more likely).  Now I have no RP...oh well. At least I can work!

Cheers!
Paul

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.
