Just out of curiocity: did you try updating the BIOS on your
motherboard?  The issus you're facing seems to be quite unique,
and I've seen more than once how various different weird issues
were fixed just by updating the BIOS.  Provided they actually
did they own homework and fixed something and released the fixes
too... ;)

P.S.  I'm Not A Guru (tm) :)
