Can you try a different test?  Power-on the system with the network
cable attached to an idle switch (i.e. keep all network traffic from
being forwarded to the NIC during driver initialization).  Does the
system power up successfully?  Repeatedly?  The problem I saw 
was caused by network traffic being handled by the NIC during driver
initialization.  If you still see the same behavior then this might
be a different issue.
