The error message "Configuring Memory..." and the fact that the server is stuck at this point strongly suggest that a DIMM (memory module) has failed. Memory issues are commonly diagnosed when servers hang during the memory configuration phase of boot.
* DIMM failure (Answer A): When a memory module fails, the server can get stuck at the memory initialization process during boot.
* VRAM insufficiency (Option B): VRAM (video memory) issues would typically cause display-related errors, not memory configuration issues.
* RAID cache failure (Option C): RAID cache issues would lead to storage errors but not prevent the system from configuring memory.
* BIOS update (Option D): While BIOS issues can cause boot failures, the error message suggests a memory-specific issue.
