I'd keep it where you are now.  Write down or take pictures of your current options in case something like this happens again.

I would try the diskpart method first.

[Andro]

Diskpart worked, I was able to reinstall Windows and here is new problem...after restart PC freezes after BIOS options and now doesn't even come to Windows logo, very weird, I believe something inside is faulty

Did you go back into the BIOS and change the Boot order so that it goes to the Hard drive first?

[Andro]

I did now but for some reason it can't boot if I select KIngston

Try changing this one:

 

Storage Boot Option Control
Allows you to select whether to enable the UEFI or legacy option ROM for the storage device controller.
Disabled Disables option ROM.
Legacy Only Enables legacy option ROM only. (Default)
UEFI Only Enables UEFI option ROM only.
Legacy First Enables legacy option ROM first.
UEFI First Enables UEFI option ROM first.<===

[Andro]

Changed to UEFI first but it's the same...

Trying changing OS Type from Win 8 to Windows 8 WHQL

If that doesn't work then try going back to Other OS

[Andro]

I don't have Windows 8 WHQL option, just Win 8, changing to other OS doesn't help either

On the System Information page of the BIOS is a line that says:

ATA Port Information>

 

Can you select it and show me what it says?

 

I have been looking at the newer model motherboard's defaults today.  Assume that the newer defaults would be automatically setup for Win 10.

 

OS Type: Other OS

CSM Support: Always

Boot Mode Selection: UEFI and Legacy

Storage Boot Option Control:  They have Legacy here but I would think UEFI First would be better.  I would try both.

OnChip SATA Controller: Enabled

OnChip SATA Type: AHCI

OnChip SATA Port4/5 Type (SATA3 4/SATA3 5 connectors):  (These should not be in play unless you have your drive connected to SATA 4 or SATA 5 plugs.)

The default is IDE but as we have no IDE I think it should be: As SATA Type

[Andro]

Please check photo for ATA Port Info.

 

I have other OS enabled but CSM support isn't available, it's available only if Win 8 is chosen.

Storage boot option control: have UEFI first enabled but won't boot either if I choose Legacy

All other settings are the same as u suggested.

Can you move the Kingston to Port 3 where the Optiarc currently is (and change the Boot priority to read it first)?  We know that port works.  There may be a problem with Port 1

 

Also try disabling port 0 and any other unused ports under

SB SATA Configuration

 SATA Power on PORT0

[Andro]

I moved it to Port 3 and changed boot order and found out that the BIOS still shows it's connected to Port 1. Also disabled other ports and still nothing...could this be caused by faulty SATA cable ?
