Well I can repeat this behaviour in two 1.8 Intel boxes - without the 103G inserted the boxes boot fine. With the card in place, which was working fine in one of the boxes, the boxes do not boot at all. Fan comes on, drive lights active as they are probed for disks, but then no beeps at all and no progress on boot, fan keeps blowing at high speed when normally it would throttle back until temp issues require more ventilation, and the box can only be shut down with holding the on/off switch in for several seconds or unplugging the power cord.
I have tried different slots on both machines, and inserting a different type of pci card is not a problem, even one which requires its own power supply, so the power supply itself seems to be putting out lots of juice.
Normally no beeps means power supply or system board problem. Perhaps inserting the card creates a short. Anyone seen this issue before?
