I case anyone is searching later, here's what happened: RMA the old motherboard. New one powers on cold with no problems. Yay.

Anyone have any other ideas? Anyone use the v1.5 BIOS that I've seen?

I had a bad BSOD a couple days after running at least 8+ hrs of prime95 with it overclocked to a whopping 216mhz (sarcasm). I couldn't get the machine to boot without either hanging during POST or verifying dpmi settings, and then it eventually settled down and was just a disk problem that was...
