Diagnosing hardware issue?

I recently inherited a dual processor x86 machine for my personal use.  It
was supposed to be in fine working condition as a MS-Windows machine, but upon
installing FreeBSD, I have encountered a number of problems  I have no
doubt that the hardware is the issue, and not FreeBSD.

I did a minimal install over the network of 4.7-Release which seemed to go
smoothly.  I then tarred up my a 4.9 stable source tree from another
machine and transfered it over to the new box. (from March 30th) Build
world seemed to go fine. (make buildworld)  I tweaked the GENERIC kernel to add support for
the second processor and a sound card. I made and installed the new
kernel without any noticeable errors. (make builkernel KERNCONF=STONE ;
make installkernel KERNCONF=STONE)   The new kernel booted, but the
second processor was not recognized.  Likewise, my network cards became
unresponsive. (the interfaces would just time out) I now have the machine
in serial console, and am wondering how I figure out what is wrong with the
machine.  I assume it is a hardware issue, but as to what is precisely broken,
I do not know.  For completeness sake I did the installworld and ran
mergmaster, but I am still running on only one processor and no
networking.

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to start troubleshooting this?
The source tree I used seems to work fine on my laptop, so I have doubt
that it is a terrible problem on the other machine.

Here is some basic info to give a little background:
