I had a similar problem several years back with a board that I got at General Nanosystems (It was still under warentee though). I brought it in to them and they did all the swapping of CPU, RAM, etc. and narrowed it down to the system board. They did not seem to care about anything but discovering the problem. Anyway, my point is: call them or just go in and see if they will help. My guess is that if you go when they are not busy, like a weekday morning, they would be glad to spend the short time it should take to narrow down the problem.
