<DIV> I can't tell you what the likely culprit is, but instead of "moving them in and out" I suggest the following:
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Remove all cards and try the live CD.
</DIV>
<DIV>2a) If this does not solve the problem, replace your CMOS battery, reset BIOS to defaults, and retry.
</DIV>
<DIV>
2b) If this does solve the problem, add the cards in one by one and test.
</DIV>
<DIV> 3a) If this does not solve the problem start disable all on-board items in BIOS.
</DIV>
<DIV>
3b) If this does solve the problem, put all the cards back in and test again
</DIV>
<DIV> 4a) If this does not solve the problem, get a new mother board.
</DIV>
<DIV>4b) If this does solve the problem, start enabling items one by one and testing them.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps,
