Sounds like you PS/2 port is shorting out when something is plugged in which causes your board to fail POST. Since EPoX is no more I think you're SOL. Still, check the PS2 port to make sure nothing is stuck in there that could be causing a short. Heck it could be that your back plate is just making contact with something it's not suppose to when you plug in your PS/2 port. Make sure the standoffs properly space your motherboard from your case so that there isn't unwanted electrical contact. Clean out dust that could be causing problems.
