If you look at the diagnostics - you have 100 uncorrectable sector counts - with 100 sectors relocated....this is usually an indication that the drive is in the process of dying....I would not use that drive - it is just going to create problems.

Usually when the POST hangs on the "mobo logo", the BIOS is trying to access the drive and configure it. I am assuming you have AHCI enabled for the SSD and/or other hard drive - this may be the problem if it is an older hard drive (i.e. 40GB/80GB or smaller drive).

Have you run diagnostics on the drive while connected via USB? You can download them from the drive manufacturer's website.
