built a computer 2+ years ago and it worked great until a few weeks ago mobo was the culprit had a asrock 990fx professional replaced it with a asrock 970 extreme 4 plugged everything in and turn it on and it brings up the asrock page with bios options but cannot use keyboard to select anything or get past that page unless i unplug all sata devices then it will bring up page with cpu and ram specs any advice on what to do now or what to try have removed all hardware and reinstalled a few times now cleared cmos etc
 
with the hard drive unplugged did you update the new mb bios to the newest rev to make sure it not a bios bug. make sure the sata ports set to achi mode and try one drive at a time to see if one drive has gone bad or the sata cable and causing the pc to hang.
