Supermicro's S2DL3 - Corrupting Files

Hi,
RE:Supermicro's S2DL3

I am having problems with the above board and the config below.
The system appears to randomly corrupt files (CRC erros normally) its
is very strange, it does not matter which OS I try (Linux won't
install due to CRC errors), windows 2000 occasionaly installs but get
errors shortly after, Windows 2003 installs but will get errors , I
have tried every combination of Hardrives / CDRom's possible, U160
+Ultra 50 PIN CDROM,IDE HDD IDE CDROM, and combinations in between,
disabling any un used channels / adapters at every stage.

I have tried the board running with the PCI bus fixed at 66MHz 64Bit,
33Mhz 32Bit, and Auto to no avail. Every manner of BIOS settings have
been tried.

The issues are v similar to:

However this guy was not very helpful at supplying a working email
addy!

I would normally look at the HDD's or OS etc for this kind of
corruption problem but as I have ruled most of this out I am at a loss
as to what to try.

Any help would be most appreciated.
