Just a guess, but it sounds like this would be a problem with the motherboard. If so, it would be related to a pin that is being used on your graphics board that is not being used on your other boards, and the fact that it works on other slots would indicated that the problem is related to the motherboard or at least the slot connector for the top slot on your motherboard. I can't think of how you could prove it other than having another motherboard to try it on.
