I have a sneaking suspicion that a firmware update needs to be applied, 
re-applied or not properly applied.  I think it blinks like somewhere 
in the middle of the firmware update process.

I forget how I did my dual 867 firmware update but I had to do it a few 
times because I did not read the instructions properly. Perhaps try to 
apply the firmware update _again_ for your machine.  Somebody correct 
me if I am wrong but I think you can do firmware updates multiple times 
and nothing will go wrong.

You could also try resetting the _cuda_ button on the motherboard.

Sorry, no more info than that.  And as always, backup, backup, backup  
:)
