Black screen on a hot reboot but everything fine on a cold boot (Maximus VI Gene/Z87)

Hey y'all,
Today I rebuilt my mITX system to mATX which basically meant moving all of the components onto a new motherboard which I acquired through EBay.

When starting cold, everything boots up properly. Unfortunately any time I restart my computer, either by Ctrl+Alt+Del from BIOS, from bootloader screen, restart from Windows or Linux ... I end up with a dark screen with the fans still working. There is not "beep", no POST, nothing. Even "Reset" (button on the motherboard) doesn't help. I need to hold the power button for a few seconds and boot from scratch.

I tried resetting CMOS, disabling Fast Boot, running stock and OC settings. Etc. nothing seems to help

Motherboard. Maximus VI Gene
BIOS: 1603 (Latest)
CPU: Core i7 4790k

Anybody has ideas what I could try? I dual boot quite frequently and this issue is VERY annoying.

I appreciate any help
