Take each card out of the machine.  Put one back into the machine, make sure
it is seated correctly, and boot.  See if it works.  Take it out and put in
the other card, again making sure it is seated correctly.  Boot again and
see if it works.  Chances are either both cards are not playing friendly
with each other (both busmaster or something?), or one was not seated well
in the PCI slot.  Try using different slots and see how you do.
