Considering that I've had 4*4 cards in prior 4.X systems my experience is that you have a BIOS that is not allocating resources to the cards after a while. I run into that before in which the BIOS stop setting up PCI devices after a certain number or not traversing all bridges. Doing a dmesg and looking IRQ allocation is a good starting point. It's probably bad. Doug A.
