Oh okay, well everything else is up to date and I'm still getting the BSOD issues.

Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Try this. Go to Nvidia and download the most recent driver. Reset tour Windows update to 'Let me decide what to install'. Go to C:/ Nvidia, open that and you will se a folder named display drivers. Inside that folder will be numbered folders such as 314.22 and such. Delete every numbered folder but do not delete the display folder. Go to control panel, add remove programs. Delete all the Nvidia folders there, such as 3D, PhysX,Hdmi, 3D and Nvidia update. BUT, be sure you uninstall the display Driver last. When you uninstall the display driver you will be told to reboot, do so. When you start up Windows will install a display adapter, that's OK. Open your Nvidia driver you downloaded, run it and agree to terms and such, when you get to express install don't do it, choose custom install. Make sure the clean install box is checked and uncheck all of the entries they want to install except for the display driver and physX. Only install those 2. Once the install is completed, it will tell you to reboot, do so.

See if that does any better.

Download and install Core Temp run it and keep check on your CPU temps. I'm sure Asus provides you with a utility. It is usually used for overclocking but is very useful to keep check on the GPU temps and enables tou to set a custom fan profile to keep your Graphics card cool. If Asus does not provide such a utility, you can do the same thing with MSI Afterburner. It is the same type of program for overclocking but will allow you to set a custom profile and custom fan setting. It will also allow you to list certain things in the task bar and on screen display. That way you will know while gaming your GPU temps.

Arc and Koolkat are the masters of this stuff. They'll be with you for a while. I need my beauty sleep so will be off for a while. I'll be back in the morning and see how all this went. You are in capable hands.

Still it is a Storage/ ODD related issue.

Both the SSD and the HDD are said to be SCSI discs. But your storage controller driver installed is iaStora.sys ..... AHCI controller.

Enter into BIOS setup. Set the storage controller made to AHCI mode. Let us know the situation after doing the change.

EDIT: If Arc is any master at all, Essenbe is the master of that master. Essenbe is the person who taught Arc the ways to troubleshoot.... and still teaching.

Go to bed, Steve :) Have a sound sleep.

The HDD is not.

No code has to be inserted here.

Do it first. Then do a power cycle. Check all the power cables and connections. Check the PSU is working or not.
