you and shrekogre have the Sapphire HD4870...to me it sounds like that card is causing the problem...interesting that Biostar produced the previous bios to stop the no post problems for the PCIe 2.0 9800 series cards...i am thinking that ATI's new series has a quirk in their bios causing a misfire with Biostar's bios.
I didnt try it with other video card, but the problem isnt at the video card and I'm sure in 100%.
This board was designed to show error message on the diagnostic led (the 2x 7-segments) when a video card isn't connected to the board - 2E, You are welcome to try it.
When I boot the computer without a video card the diagnostic leds don't show anything, I have to turn off/on few times to get the 2E error. After that I reconnect the video card and play with the turning off/on untill it boots.

I talked on other forums with people that use 4870 with this board (even 4870 crossfire), they didnt have problem.
