At this point, if I were you, I would get a different server, an HP,
IBM, SuperMicro, or something that is known to work well with
Asterisk.  After how many hours of troubleshooting do you give up
because you are wasting more time/money than it would cost to buy a
new box and be done with it?

If it is hardware, I give up after about eight hours or less.
