Flashed F6i, issue remains. Also did some more testing -

2 types of graphics cards were installed in both of the x16 / x8 PCIe slots and found to work fine
Intel network cards in the x1 PCIe slots also work fine

An old Promise SATA controller installed in a x1 PCIe slot does not wok.

Conclusion - Any expansion card that needs a special BIOS to be hooked and installed after the Power On Self Test does not work as it should with this motherboard.
All cards are tested and work okay on different systems; nevertheless, this does not seem like a simple physical problem on the Z77 board - the x16/x8 slots work as expected with GPU cards.  ???
