You need to strip it down to motherboard, ram and CPU and work your way up
trying to discover the conflict or bad component by trial and error.

However I have had this sort of thing happen to me three times and each
time it was because I zapped the motherboard. We get jaded and
careless...pulling ram and drives in and out of cases without proper static
protection and 99 percent of the time nothing happens. This last happened
to me last November when I swapped some SDRAM for EDO in a FIC PA 2007.
That customer is now very happy with my FIC 503+ !
