Massive overrun input errors on ASA 5510

This is a brand new network, so NO hosts, NOT even internet is connected, just my laptop connected via a console cable, and a ASA5510 is connecting to the new 4510 via ONE staright cable. And as soon as they two got connected, can ping to each other, massive input errors showed up on ASA interface. the 4510 if didn't get errors, but also showed massive packets were sent/recieved.

This is show inter on the ASA 1 sec after I cleared the interface.

ASA01# sh inter e0/1

ASA01#

So over 33K packets and almost all errored over 1-2 seconds. and no broadcast.

Tried different cables, no luck. and connected the ASA and the 4510 to my laptop separetedly on the same ports, no issue at all. monitor the traffic between they two, couldn't see many packets. and after reboot they were cool, no errors, no massive packets sending, until I sent a ping comand, then they went crazy.

Any clue?

Thanks a lot.

Come on guys, someone please

Come on guys, someone please help me. It's really bizarre, only that two devices, a ASA5510 and a 4510, connected, nothing else, and why they two were so busy talk to each other. When I set my laptop as the switch's IP connecting to the ASA, or set my laptop to the ASA's IP and connected to the switch, and I got no problems at all....
