Computer freezes when Electra, Pulsar 1 and XTC connected th

I've managed to solve one problem regarding the freezing of my comp everytime it would start up and open up my desk top.I have 3 cards (Electra, Pulsar 1 And Pulsar XTC) but when I remove the Electra from its slot and I leave only the Pulsar 1 and the Pulsar XTC working together everything works smoothe no matter what change I make. The problem with that is, is that I cannot use all the software that is registered for the Electra on the other cards and there is a lot of software that I need to use from this board. Also when I plug in the Electra by itself its perfect. Once again, there is absolutely no sharing of any IRQ's on my DAW computer! Its very strange that this is occuring being that I have a friend who uses 2 Pulsar 1 cards and a Luna card and he says they work excellent together ( he uses the 3.1C SFP). There is no major difference between SFP 3.1C and 4.0 from what I've read and saw for myself. I dont know what else to do or experiment at this point! Maybe there is something that someone knows that might be of issue and is causing this problem of incompatibility or whatever the case may be. Many thanks in advance for all the help and effort...
My System;

CPU: 3.0 GHZ Northwood
MoBo: ASUS P4P800-SE
RAM: 2 GIG Kingston Dual Channel
HDD: 2 X 80 GIG SATA
AGP: NVIDIA 128 MB
Sound Cards:Electra, Pulsar1, Pulsar XTC

Many thanks for all your suggestions, but unfortunately I have tried everything under the sun and I still have the problem with the freeze up of my computer. I was thinking maybe I should sell my comp and put together a newer one. I'm debating on wether it would be a AMD or INTEL. Maybe you have some suggestions on what computer or parts I should get. Many thanks once more...

Have you setup the bios on your computer properly I think that's one of the only things which brings up the bluescreen, apart from the graphics drivers.Just brainstorming it.good luck.

H-Rave, thanks for all your info my friend, but I never get a blue screen just when I go to move the mouse around or even click it everything freezes and then I have to restart my computer manually. Also when I disconnect the STDM cable from the Electra and leave the other two cards connected I dont get a freeze. BUT, I run into another problem, when I go to install Cubase SX3 it installs but when i click on it to start for the first time I keep getting all these errors and it just keeps on scanning for whatever and then it juststops opening up. Never have I experienced something like this.... Many thanks for all your help to all..

Stardust, the Electra is a 3 DSP card.... Many thanks for your interest in resolving my problem.... Who knows, maybe the combination that I have is not compatible as is. Pulsar 1 (4 DSP, Pulsar XTC (6 DSP), Electra (3 DSP).
