A bad or shorted modem can block the PC. Return it to the seller or discard it.

This is mostly caused by a defective modem. You can try it in another slot to see if it is the mother board. Most likely you will have to replace the modem.

Test for shorts on the supply rails with a DMM. I've seen many shorts caused by tantalum filter caps.

Otherwise it may be that one of the chips is hanging up the PCI bus. This could be the result of a lightning strike.
