It will lock if you put a new HDD in there and install a new card.
Because the OS was installed on another computer, so it doesn't
recognise any of the new HW, and it thinks it's still on the old
computer, it gets confused and hangs. You have to reinstall the OS on
that mobo.
Maybe there's some way of reinstalling just the mobo linked parts of
the OS.
