Nick, I flashed to bios 1814 and I still have the same problem as you. All my bios settings are on default.

Every time I boot after disconnecting the mains power the following happens:
power on, drives and fans power up, screen stays black; after a few seconds everything powers down (drives getting knackered...); and then it starts up again reaching the "POST failed (press Y for setup screen, etc)" message. After that it boots up normally, and reboots properly provided that mains power is never disconnected.

So Intel still needs to fix this.
