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: http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/romtabl.html Good luck. Oh, and I'd try 5.4 instead of 5.3 -- can't hurt ;-) -Kurt
