Just formated and installed an operating system on my sdd.
And now (only) when I have it plugged in the computer feezes in POST (?), before one could choose to enter UEFI (BIOS) or choose boot device.

My past installation on of Windows 7 worked and the current OS also works on my other computer.

Specs: (new computer)
ASRock B85M-ITX
Samsung 840 Series MZ-7TD120 120GB
Intel Core i7 4765T 2,0GHz Socket 1150
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL9 2x4GB

OS:
Openbsd

Also: passed Memtest and different benchmarks without any problem. Setup was bought a couple of days ago.

TL;DR: (OS on) SSD prevents computer from booting. But works/boots like a charm on a similar setup.

I've not encountered any BIOS that acts this way. It's clearly the BIOS not liking your hard drive, or at the very least formatted that way. My comment about the 64 bit was just in case your BIOS could detect that and object. How? I don't know, long shots sometimes hit. You may wish to try another operating system and see if it works, narrow down the possibilities. You may have to reformat the drive in another computer if you can't get past the BIOS.

Make sure we're clear. When you put the sdd in another computer Open BSD works but when returned to original computer the BIOS locks. What does the bios do if you disconnect the SDD?

If it's not that you installed a 64bit version on a 32 bit system I'm stumped.

Please elaborate. As it boots fine on my older i7-950 (1366), and not at all on my brand new 4765T (1150).
And both use "Instruction Set: 64-bit"
