Have you tried swapping the SATA cable?

Ha ha yes swap SATA cable. Where is my head tonight. Will do that next.
One of the caps looks suspect, with a slight bulge at the bottom.

I had something similar to this once. A friend of mine shipped his pc to me from FL, and I went through roughly all the same things you did. I finally got the mobo part number and just started google searching that part. I finally stumbled across a forum, and someone there suggested to another poster to look on the board for a jumper. Now I had looked over the board, and saw one jumper, and assumed it was just a BIOS jumper. Anyway, the post said to pull it off, and try to boot. It said that it should fail the boot, and then put it back on, and boot. It should boot after that, because it will recognize the hardware change.
I was thinking..."WTH is this all about?" So, I try it, and surer than heck it boots with no issues. I guess the long and short of it is, you may have some mobo oddity in front of you. Try any weird thing you can think of because sometimes weird things work. "Sometimes weird things work." I'm going to use that line more.

Ha ha yea a Packard Bell. A PC World special.
Will check out the weird and wonderfuls tonight. There is at least one suspect cap. Some of the other symptoms such as faulty network port point towards a failing motherboard. So as its an OEM build its like a new machine needed. Sent from my Galaxy S-II using Tapatalk.
