Well you've got a real puzzler there. It's hard to do more than guess, given the other advice you've received and the numerous fixes you've attempted.
What other settings are available in your BIOS for the boot order? Perhaps it needs to be set on RAID or SATA rather than HDD. If that doesn't work, I'd try resetting the MB BIOS settings to their factory defaults and starting there.
