A pal of mine has the same problem after taking bits out and putting 
bits back in an upgrade session. He, like you has had all the cards out, 
checked all leads etc. He thinks its a heat problem as it seems to 
disappear with the case off. Not much help to you I know, but at least 
there is one other person with the same prob.
