Dell T110 (v1) stability issues

Hi,

I’ve got a (secondhand) Dell T110 (v1, the old one), that doesnt boot all the time. I’m using the server to only wake up at night, and do some regular task. I’m using the RTC wakeup function.
I’ve seen several boot failure mode errors (like memory, and cpu), and had some system hangs.

The machine seems to be more stable when i’ve blocked the loading of the IPMI related drivers. I’ve had this server replaced by the vendor, and the replacement is also having the same issues.

No errors have shown up on multiple runs of the builtin diagnostics and system services.

The server runs ubuntu. 2 harddisks for data, 1 SSD for OS. No UEFI.

Any suggestions?

removing old thermal paste and applying new one, seems to have resolved the issue. fingers crossed.
