10-1 the motherboard has serious hardware issues. Try a BIOS update:

could be serious check bios settings..cpu voltage look for overclocking in any form and see if the memory meets specs

I will try a voltage and overheating check on the cpu. The mem has been checked any more suggestions.

Are you trying to use a discrete graphics card? You mentioned you can't disable the onboard video memory. It should automatically disable with a discrete card in the AGP slot. Does the mobo have an AGP slot?

Mobo voltages should be at 1.75core, 3.3mem.

One of your devices is causing this error at the hardware level.

Have you taken all add-on cards and external devices out?

Start from the bottom up, and if it works, then you can isolate the problem as being associated with one or more hardware devices.
I had the same problems when installing an SB Audigy :rolleyes: Buggy VIA chipsets :D

After this, swap the power supply.

If this is all to no avail and you still experience the same problems, THEN follow BipolarBill's link and flash the BIOS.
