This happens when the board gets flexed. A term used in the tech world. The little wires called traces get short circuited when pressing down on the motherboard causing it to bend. Using a card tester will show you if you have good conection or not.

Unplug and replug all the connections from motherboard to places such as hard drives. With a new motherboard either something is loose or you got a lemon.

Might look into replacing that mobo. It is possible that it is a bad one as well. If you don't think that may be it, try reloading drivers for it and hardware and see if that fixes the problem. Hard to determine something like that without more information.

You may just need to re-seed your cards. By re-seed i mean take out and put it back in. This may sound dumb but i find it works. This has happenned to my sound card and graphics card before. If this does not work, it most likely is the motherboard.

I would check the CMOS menu and make sure the pci enabled.
