I have been wrestling with the same issue. I can run the card plugged into the MB socket, put the 16-16 extender inline and the issue comes back.
not sure what is the reasoning behind the issue but I am currently stuck using 3 1x-16x ribbons and the cards behave properly
I really hope someone can figure this out, having one in the Mb socket is overlapping my 5th port so i have one of this cards sitting on the damn shelf
not a solution but a work around, since having them running they perform wonderfully

now matter how or what order i run the cards .... i get blue screens
is it a voltage problem i wander .
i see other pictures of this card on extender cables running fine
i thought i could plug them in and ROLL ... when i remove the extenders and run them from the board it rocks
i needed them apart for cooling

Are you sure the cables are good?
Try plugging in just one card using each cable to see if one of them (or both) are bad.
