I doesn't know who (motherboard or video card) cause the problem, but as I turn on computer, all POST-messages before system loaded, shown as not widescreen.

MB BIOS Version: FD (08/12/09)
Video card BIOS Version: 05.43.02.16.00 (10/26/04)
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2243LNX

The answer is simple: all bios POST messages are shown in stabdard 640x480 because the bios has only info about the system, not the monitor, so it is using the safe mode resolution. This way it can display on any monitor connected. Nothing can be done to change this.
