    So i swapped i 7 back to i5 for test purpose and made a bios resset (battery removing)

    Now i have a problem: when i press power butmn, indicators lights up but no bios screen appears. after multiple times pressing power butmn bios can start up ( without any conected devices)
    and some times i have usb ports problem: they doesnot work...

    what can it be?

    also at first succesfull boot i found in device manager that chipset and usb 3 drivers has a warnings . but i solved this problem by reainstalling drivers..

    any help will be welcome/

    Well, this is why I'm afraid to work on my own machine hardware. I'm terrified to take anything too far apart.

    You could try my trusty standby for situations like this: Discharge the system, Remove all power supplies and battery then hold the power button down for over a minute. Restore all power supplies and try it.

    I know I know, but it has worked for me twice having very strange problems.

    I have similar problem when some component not sit tight. Check the connections.

    Can't tell any difference between Legacy and UEFI, that I can notice anyway.

    Yeah, I was going to also say what Baii suggested.

    I guess you do have to take quite a lot apart to do that swap.

    on cold start =no boot
    cold start without power cable=boot successful
