I would certainly start by installing the latest and greatest BIOS that
is available for the machine.  You don't mention exactly which version
of the ML350 you have -- there apparently were several.  If the machine
is old, chances are good that a newer BIOS exists, and probably fixes
all sorts of problems.

I found the following site, which might be helpful:

Good luck.

Oh, and I'd try 5.4 instead of 5.3 -- can't hurt ;-)
