have you tried to update the board to the latest BIOS version and have you tried all the PCIe slots?

Is the card detected in the BIOS? It looks like a new BIOS version came out on 3/17/2010. The release notes say it fixes some PCIe issues.
BIOS Changes from release 35

I'd give Intel a call or e-mail and see if they can help you.
