There are two ASRock Fatality X79 boards, the Fatality X79 Professional, and the Fatality X79 Champion.
After some research, it seems you have the Fatality X79 Champion, since it is the only Fatality X79 model that has the PSC (POST Status Checker). Is that correct?
While the PSC is useful for debugging problems, your board also has the Dr Debug POST code display, in the lower right corner of the board, below the SATA ports.
If POST failed, you should be seeing a code number in the Dr Debug display. That code should be a much better clue regarding what the problem is.
So what code are you getting in the Dr Debug display?
You said the problem started after changing an HDD. Which SATA port is this HDD connected to, one of the Intel SATA ports, or one of the Marvell SATA ports? What model and type of HDD is the new drive?
Have you tried clearing the UEFI/BIOS since you began having this problem?
