Since the BTX is the BooT eXtender, what brings I think a 16-bit real-mode BIOS/POST to a 32-bit (or 64-bit?) protected operating system, I would start looking at BIOS options. Some BIOSes have a windows mentality and don't let you tweak much. Retail boards you buy off the shelf are typically pretty good to let you tweak lots of options. I'd also check for a BIOS update.
