Have you tried the BIOS clearing that essenbe linked to? I would try the third method of removing the CMOS battery and then short the two battery contacts to be sure the BIOS is cleared. Pull out the power cable from the PSU when you do this. This will re-set everything including the BIOS clock, which will go back to near the manufacturing date of the board.
I've had a lot of no POSTing. Some things to try:
Remove all but one DRAM stick, leave the one closest to the CPU.
Disconnect all drives from the motherboard.
IF you can get into BIOS now, go set the boot order and basic DRAM settings, nothing else. Power off, re-connect your OS drive only and see how it goes. This does sound like a bad board.
