OK.... the problem has "fixed itself".
In contacting Asus technical support the nice guy at the other end told me
to increase the latency timer of the cards. In order to test the mainboard
I put it back in instead of the temporary NF7-M. Suspiciously the tests
that failed before are now flawless and the only thing different was 2 PCI
cards were not installed, the tv tuner card and a wireless lan card.
Installing these to try to exactly duplicate the previous setup again
didn't cause the error to appear.
Even so the board seems flaky so I'm hesitant to put it into full swing
just yet - I'll do a few stress test runs.
