Dual ASmedia SATA Card won't boot (alien.top)

Hi, i was trying to add another SATA PCIe card to my home server running proxmox, so i decided to buy another of those cheap ASM106x card, from aliexpress this time instead of amazon:

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005003760757628.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.35.2af43696c0JTt8&gatewayAdapt=glo2ita

but as i try to boot i get some strange behavour: some time it get stuck on this screen, trying to find all the hdd connected (7 in total), sometimes it get stuck on the boot logo, one time i get it to boot into proxmox but the ethernet port of the motherboard wouldn't work. I'm running a ryzen 7 1800x with a Gigabyte ga-ab350m-ds3h motherboard and a gt710 as a video output. If i put only the amazon one it boots with or without disk connected, if i put only the aliexpress one it boots only without disk attached, and i've tryed swapping pcie slots and even removing the 710 but nothing changes. I don't know if i have something to do with the firmware or if i did get just a faulty pcie card. Plz helb.

Get a different version of the card. I have one of those cards and one of my computers refuses to boot when it is installed. A different one works fine.

The problem card also works in a different system.

That's what also happens to me, if i put both cards in my i5 4590t system they work without problems.

So, After some trying, i found that they can be plugged together and boot, as long as i don't plug an hdd to the Amazon card (the One with the older firmware). I think i have tò change firmware, somebody knows another way other than flashing It with freedos?
