Yeah, I've also tried 98SE and XP. XP does a better job at detecting what the PCI devices are on the malfunctioning BUS. In a sense though it's worse than 2000 because XP will just hang the system trying to install the drivers automatically. Every component at this point inlcuding CPU, RAM, GPU, CPU, PSU and PCI devices have been swapped out of working systems to troubleshoot. AGP slot tests well and the system is rock solid without any PCI devices enabled. Upon my visual inspection, there doesn't appear to be anything obvious; caps look OK and traces look fine to me. The other oddity is that the onboard audio when enabled isn't even being detected at all, however, onboard video much like the AGP slot works.
