Ultra 10 is Ultra Broken?
Hey everyone, I recently bought an Ultra 10 off of eBay and when I tried to boot it the power supply turned on and the fans spun but I wasn't getting any video... so out came the serial cables!
After starting POST it gets about half way through (maybe?) and then just stops with a repeating error:

... I've looked online and in the service manual but I have no idea what is causing this error, it appears after what I think is the completion of POST perhaps?
...testing stuff...

I've looked on Google and people have had similar problems but no mention that I could see of a possible cause/solution, I've tried switching DIMMs in and out, reseating CPU, removng PCI cards, etc but to no avail... anyone wanna take a stab at what might be wrong here?
Thanks,
John
