So, does anyone capture to a SATA HDD? I'd be shocked if that was the issue, but at this point I can't rule anything out.
This might sound odd to you, but certain HDD's can have incompatabilities with certain motherboards.

WD Raptors, for example have issues with certain Intel P35 Chipsets.

Certain RAM modules may be incompatible with certain Motherboards as well. It's always good to check different brands.
