The problem with no-named stuff is that it could be bad in some way and
it's difficult to fix or get support.  I would especially be wary of no
name multiprocessor stuff.  It's a buyer beware thing.

Try these things:

Try installing with less memory ie. 128M.
If the BIOS has an option for MPS 1.4 support enable it.
Remove the SCSI cards and all other cards (bare bone system)

Failing that I'd take the system back to your vendor and have them try
to get NT to install.  That way they can decide if they need to replace
the board or not.

cheers.
