Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H Pcix slots not working

Hello.

I bought a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard two years ago. All was working fine until two weeks ago I noticed my firewire expansion adapter , positioned on the top pcix slot, was not working. I replaced it, just to notice that it was not working, again. Then, I moved my audio dsp card, which was positioned at the lower pcix slot, into the first slot. Still nothing. Putting everything back together I noticed that none of my pcix cards were working! I tried the third pcix slot, and nothing...I keep my pc case clean and well ventilated, and since I assembled it two years ago I haven't modified anything. Latest bios and drivers. Windows 7 Professional. What could be the problem ? Thank you.

P.S. I have tried to test my motherboard with Hot cpu tester pro 4.4.1, and I get a bsod (irql not less or equal) within the first 5 minutes.
