Reseat the card in PCI slot. The difference between 0x106c (Hynix) and 0x10ec

This turned out to be spot on.

There was a connector in line with the PCI slot (for front panel audio
ports) that was preventing the card from correctly sitting in the
slot. I unplugged this (don't use audio on this machine anyway) and
reseated the card, and it now works just fine.

Many thanks for the suggestion.
