Welcome to Android Central! So to be clear, it's an S5, right? I'm not sure why you mentioned the bit about "Galaxy Ace" at the end of your post.

How did you do the factory reset? Was it from the Recovery Menu? I assume that if the phone is freezing on the startup screen, you're unable to do the factory reset from the Settings menu.

Do you have an external microSD card inserted? Try powering the phone off, removing the microSD card, then, restarting the phone. A corrupt SD card can cause various problems.
