This could be caused by a short on any of the busses - most likely is 
the PCI bus - are all adapter cards correctly seated - are there any you 
can remove to get the system running - e.g. SCSI adapter, sound card etc.

Also as you say, this could be corrupted CMOS settings - the motherboard 
manual will show you when a shorting link is to reset the CMOS back to 
default settings - try this as well.
