Hi,

You could try defaulting the configuration by turning on switch 6 on SW1 on the system board, and powering on.

Take a look at the maintenance and service guide available here:

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Hi,

I guess the next option would be to strip out any unnecessary PCI cards to see if any of those are causing the problem...

Cheers,
