what I did was I used EASEUS Free Partition Master to format partition on another SSD. I then reset my BIOS to default and ran a fresh windows 7 install on the SSD that had just been wiped, without any other drives connected.
all the steps i did are in line with the following link: Clean Install Windows 7
after installing windows i put in the disc that came in with the mobo and installed all drivers without any bloatware, graphic driver, hd audio driver, and an extra driver used for a different ethernet port. the graphic driver seems to make my PC clonk out as well.
my SSD is still reading as SCSI under device manager and Im still facing problems installing any sort of graphic driver.
my PC is running with just x1 ram stick, x1 SDD, x1 Optical Drive.
BIOS SATA Configuration is set to AHCI. are you saying I should put this to IDE?
