We pulled everything out and the problem went away until we put the HDX cards in with nothing else. Again, once ProTools loads and the HDX cards 'wake up' the problem disappears, even with ProTools shut down, until you reboot then it's "rinse and repeat".

Avid did give me something to look at but I've been on location for two weeks and will try their recommendation when I return this weekend. They have an open ticket and I'll report back to them.
Just a thought since you just now mention the Blackmagic card. Have you tried downgrading the BM software or removing the card completely to see if the issue goes away? I have experienced issues with BM drivers and Pro Tools in the past.
