Here are some general steps you can take.

First make sure there are no external devices plugged in, besides keyboard, monitor and mouse.

 

  1. Reset the NVRAM.

  1. While the server is open it would be advised to reseat memory and any expansion cards.
  2. If that still does not work then I would suggest re flashing the BIOS.

Hope these steps work for you.
