Windows 7 x64 SATA HDD related freezes during HDD detection(Hwinfo,R-Drive image), HDD marked as removable.

Hello,
i have HW related freezes with new Z97 MB - last bios, when dics or partitions are detected - its during HWinfo start detection - HDD device is removed from system and shutdown after is broken and i have to use button on power supply, reset is not working at all. Second place where is this happening is when i use backup utility which scanning partitions - R-Drive image - i got complete freeze - during analyzing partitions tasks, its worked of previous board.
   Other thing is that drive is GPT and is avalaible in Safetly remove dialog as SCSI device - its Sata AHCI, when i connect other HDD or SSD they are in this dialog avalaible. Crystal disk info dont see this drive at all.

   MB is Intel chipset 9 -Intel+Asmedia controllers i used last Asrock Z97 Extreme 4 /3.1 Zdrivers and i have tried last Fernando drivers, its same.
problematic HDD is on Asmedia controller(2015 driver).

  Do you have idea, how to debug it, were could be problem? I have installed Intel rapid storage utility in tray, with previous MB i havent, i could be a different i dont know why, but its even to have any Exit or Kill button.

I do not have experience with your MB but some time ago had one Asrock MB with Asmedia and Intel Sata internal ports, AFAIR there is an option on Bios/UEFI for using one or the other and bouth, your MB manual in Bios section should explain how this setting works in your specific MB.
