Trying to flash a Dell H310

[ashman70]

I have flashed a Dell H310 that I bought on eBay sometime ago and had no issues doing it in an older system I have laying around. Today I pulled a Dell H310 out of a server I got from a customer and put it in that same system to flash it. Problem is when the system boots, it comes up with the following error:

 

No physical memory is available at the location required for the Windows Boot Manager. The system can not continue.

 

It halts there and I can go no further.

 

The first PCIe slot on this board has a video card in it, I've tried the second and third PCIe slots but get the same message.

 

I can get the make and model of the motherboard if it will help.

EFI?  

 

Try booting in legacy BIOS.

I don't think the MB has EFI as an option, its a very old first generation i7 board with an i7-920 in it. I already booted into the card, cleared the config and turned the BIOS off, no joy.

Tried the tape trick?  Not sure if it's applicable in this situation but handy to know about.

Funny you should mention that, I had to do that years ago to a couple of Perc 5i raid controllers I was using in different system. The thing about that is, without the tape the system won't boot, in my case the system boots but gives me that weird error message. I could try the tape I guess, just wondering if anyone has encountered the problem before.

Tried googling the error message?

Also if you read the comments in the tape link I posted, this issue has been described before.
