I have the same motherboard and the same problem.  Give pci=noacpi as argument
for booting.

Also when you reboot after install it will freeze when loading usb modules
if you aren't using the above argument.  Configure your bootloader acoordingliy.

BTW does your computer poweroff properly?  Mine doesn't and I don't know if
it is the alim, the motherboard or if it is Linux not dealing properly with it.
