Hi

I would:

Check if PCI slots can be disabled in the BIOS
Disable sharing and Serial ports
Check the HDD
Unplug all cables, and see what happens, then connecting one at a time

Please check internal connections that everything is seated correctly.

Have you added any new hardware lately?

Load defaults in BIOS and see if that helps.
