Give it at least one more chance.

1. Unplug the psu power cable from the back of the power supply.
2. Remove the motherboard battery.
3. Jumper the CLR_CMOS pins.
4. Leave it like this for 24 hours!!

Sometimes it takes an extra long CMOS clear to get things back on track.

In a way I hate to say it, but there are still some more involved steps that might fix things.
The first thing you should try tomorrow is to remove the motherboard from the computer case, place it on a cardboard box beside the computer case and repeat the minimalist hardware boot, possibly with different memory, power supply and/or a different video card.

Ok, thanks for everything, now I'm leaving it in clr_cmos state for the night, going to see whats the progress tomorrow. :) Also I will update the status as long as I'll be having this issue.

Just double checking:
Has your wireless keyboard and mouse been disconnected from the motherboard since post #11?
In post #11 it sounds like you had your wireless keyboard AND a PS/2 keyboard connected at the same time!
It's best if no usb devices are connected to the motherboard and absolutely do NOT use the Etron usb ports under any circumstances!!

Yes, there were moments when I had both keyboards connected, there also were moments when only one of those was connected. And I have never used USB 3.0

I've seen several cases where some wireless keyboards were slow to initialize soon enough to be able to use the keyboard when they wanted to use pfkeys to get into the bios while posting. The goal right now is to be able to get into the bios every time with hardware that does not get in the way. Getting your wireless keyboard to work is at the end of our challenge right now.

I just viewed your video right now and I couldn't view it after you first posted it.
The next time you boot your system, press the TAB key to stop the usual display and this should show some posting information instead. Later when you try booting to your operating system, do NOT connect the O/S drive to any GSATA ports.

Nothing helped. Hm, I think that I need to get a new motherboard. And definetly NOT a GIGABYTE ONE!

TAB doesn't work. connecting or disconnecting anything doe's nothing. Only one thing i've noticed, that the bootable USB key blinks for few times after BIOS post screen. And now, actualy, OS doesn't start at all. I think, that it might be, that the motherboard/BIOS can't find which device to start, or where from to boot, and that's why it stals every time after POST screen..


... And the only thing I needed was BOOT menu... And now it doesn't start anymore.. quite a bad day..
