Indeed, we tested the machine by swapping out portions of
the RAM, with no effect. Disabling the external cache did
the trick. On that motherboard, the cache seems to be soldered,
so it'll be an MB replacement for my friend I think. We're
going to test the CPU, RAM, and cards on another MB first
to be sure though.
