Well, the way to start would be remove ALL the cards and see if the problem
goes away.   If you are lucky and it does go away, put cards back one at a
time until problem returns.   The last card put in is bad.
NEVER INSTALL OR REMOVE CARDS WITH POWER ON.

If you find a bad card, send me E-Mail.   I have lots of Apple hardware I want
to move.   Send me a list of anything that you need.
Good Luck.
