Hello. I got an eserver x series 306m. I installed windows server 2003 and mysql, but mysql wasnt working so I went ahead and downloaded the drivers from the ibm site. While installing some of them I got a blue screen of death, and now when I turn on the server, it doesnt show anything in the screen, I pinged it hoping that it was only the display drivers, but nothing, it doesnt work. I really dont want to buy a new motherboard, is there anything that I can do?

see if you can boot a linux live cd. Also you could search ibm site for MIGR-61380 and download and create the diagnostics cd, and run diagnostics.

Go to minimum config. pull all the drives, and adapters out, only have the minimum amount of memory in the box, and in the correct slots, the sticker on the inside of cover will have the memory population specs. Just have a keyboard and monitor and power hooked up, but it up, if still no video, try resetting the cmos with the jumper on the motherboard. This also can be found on the sticker on the inside of cover. If resetting the cmos,and going to minimum config this also means pulling out the second cpu and vrm if installed, doesn't work, then it may be a bad planer board.
