Hello,
Check the PCI slots with a bright light to see if there's any damage
to the slot's contacts, clean them with canned air, clean off the PCI
cards with a pencil eraser or alcohol and q tip swab: carefully with
little alcohol and try not to get it on the board itself only the gold
contacts.
Try different slots. I'd also zap the PRAM upon the retesting of the
PCI cards.
Hope this helps.
