    VRD Power Failure!

    Anyone know what this means exactly? I am getting it during boot up at the very beginning where it goes through the mem test. But my computer works perfectly fine though (at least I think it is ).

    give us your system specs, this might help

    The Intel® Server Board SE7505VB2 has a single VRD (Voltage Regulator Down) to support two processors. It is compliant with the VRM 9.1 specification and provides a maximum of 130 AMPs, which is capable of supporting the requirements for two Intel® Xeon™ processors.

    The board hardware and PMC (Power Management Controller) must read the processor VID (voltage identification) bits for each processor before turning on the VRD. If the VIDs of the two processors are not identical, then the PMC will not turn on the VRD.

    I'm positive the Voltage Regulator Down thing is an intel thing and something to do with a monitor of some kind on the mobo, nothin in the manual?
