Why did you go with a split rail PSU? +12V1@25A

I see this has two +12V rails at 25 Amperes each. It would be easy to overtax one and lockup. Ask the machine's maker to try a single rail PSU. That's no guarantee that's it.

I can't tell if you updated the bridge from your post. I have to guess you meant some driver from intel.com.
