Thanks, I'll start running through our spare PERC5i cards and see if the 
problem is affected.

I've gone through the BIOS and disabled everything, including the NICs which

"Intel 5000 PCIE" rev 0x12" while the OS is loading.

Google hasn't turned up much of use.
Any ideas?

In my experience with this servers - poweredge 1950 - this has been
'fixed' by changing RAID cards,
we keep a lot of PERC5 cards on site because of this...

sometimes we have seen some 'broken capacitors' on these cards,
so sometimes the card was broken, not some hdds
