If I may also suggest:

5. Check with the support orgs/sites of all component manufacturers
(possibly even the distributor you purchased from) to see if they have
knowledge of issues and resolutions. I've noticed over the years that
often a problem with a particular combination of hardware/software is
encountered/reported/solved between the end-customer and a support
organization earlier than elsewhere. Even if not, the *good* support
organizations will strive to help because they know that it is likely
that others will encounter the problem.
