Yes in deed i did that. I even removed all drives. Nothin helped it still freezes up right when the chip initializes. Which means that i can't even get into the bios cause the entry to bios is after the chip initializes.
So this is the order of events when i start up the pc:
1. Power up
2: bios screen, pressing Del key for entry to bios
3: ram, usb etc displays
4: Asmedia chip displaying and freezes pc.

Normally it will continue to bios screen one more time where you spam the del key alot to enter bios. First then and only then are you able to enter bios.

All thou hardware, bow before thou master.

Hi all of you lovely people, how are you all doin' ? -i hope you are well :D :D

Before i go into details about my problem, i want to list my Pc specs:

MB:  ASrock 980DE3/U3S3
Cpu: FX4300 Quad-core
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 12 Gb (3x4gb sticks) 1600MHz DDR3 (S/N CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9B)
Graphics: MSI Nvidia GTX 750 1gb GDDR5
PSU: Energon EPS-550Watt Gaming Power Supply (Brand new)
Cooling: COOLERMASTER SEIDON 120V VER. 2 and 1 other fan for cooling the northbridge and PWM's
HDD: SSD Intel 160 GB SATA2

When i restart the pc, it POST, and Bios screens normally, but when it loads up the Asmedia 106X sata controller chip, it hangs it all up. it won't go any further into booting OS or entering BIOS is NOT possible.  
i'm lost. iv'e tried: 
1: tested all connections with volt meter and checked af they were socketed properly (they're fine)
2: swapping out the ram blocks one at a time and trying the ports at the same time. 
3: reseting Bios by clearing CMOS with jumper and pulling out the battery and swapping that with a new one.
4: shorten the poles of the battery socket for 5 sec after 2'nd option ^^. 
5: powering up the MB without battery.
6: powering up th MB without ram stick (it beeps like it should)
7: Swapping out  the CPU for another cpu FX8350 octa-core (that didn't have any influence at all, so reverted to FX4300)
8: Swappin' out SSD's in the Asmedia port (there're only 2 Sata 3 port connected to that chip)


All this work done, and for what? - nothin' all iv'e tried hasn't helped.
Iv'e read a lot of articles about this issue, and researched alot, but iv'e come up empty.

What can i do to solved this issue at hand?
 
I thank you all in advance for any help and suggestions you give me.
 
All thou hardware, bow before thou master.
