Not sure if this is any help but it seems like I have heard that card
placement is important on the PCI slots.  I think if you only have one
card you cannot put it in the top slot and if you have more than one
then the video has to go in the top with everything else below.

This may be totally off base or just plain wrong but it's a thought
that came to mind as I read your post.
