I notice quite a few e-mails about this but I did not see that the problem was solved. If I missed it please forgive me all. As a temporary measure you may be able to get by with another older slower card. If it were me I would: 1. Determine that the driver for the card is correct and working. Time to Google the brand and model number of the card along with (at least at first) "linux driver". "lsmod" and similar are your friends along with "#lspci -v -v -x". 2. Oh, reseat the card and try one at a time. Try the cards in a different machine. You are right that it is unlikely but still possible that both are bad, another possibility is that EMF interference which could be specific to the particular cable run and machine as plugged into a specific source of power is causing the problem - substitution is the best way to determine that. Good Hunting!
