There is nothing blatantly obvious I see that can cause this
So it's a HP?
Do you know which motherboard by any chance? I know it can be tricky to find that out in brand desktops...
But yes try whatever you find in the wiki.
It's a bit thin on the motherboard section - it's definitely not easy and not possible for me to test all variations - I would need to have tons of hardware...

It's really interesting to google that motherboard (MSI 0A7C)
The first hit is your post in Ubuntu forums :) and there are only 62 posts and only yours with gutsy in it.
The rest is mostly in non english pages, but the second hit indicates a problem with SATA, but this is an older kernel.
Furthermore all MSI mobos for AMD have a part number beginning with K, so this is an OEM mobo specially for HP which makes it really hard to find something out. Quite often these are stripped down versions...

No ideas. I got some help from my hardware specialist but he had only found out that the computer was problematic and that the video card was to blame. Have to think of this - and as you can boot check all kinds of settings and make a couple of boots (is that the right plural for boot? :) or is it some kind of shoes?)

Well I did not contribute much here :)
To make this more usable for others could you please tell us which SATA setting you changed back to legacy from IDE
In BIOS I presume
