Thanks once again to everyone whos helped me here. Here is the solution

The motherboard in this machine is a Gigabyte 7IXE4, and basically it 
required a BIOS upgrade. After finding that extra piece of info in the 
system log (PCI: Unable to reserve I/O region #1:100 at de00 for device 
0000:00:09.0 ), some googling showed somone that had a similar problem 
with their soundcard. Upgrading the BIOS solved there problem, and Hey 
presto it worked for me.
