Hello there. I have a trouble installing windows7. I think the problem is that my motherboard and a new SSD(intel 320), that I've just bought, have a conflict. I have Asus Striker which is based on nvidia 680i chipset. It's not supported ahci. So, every time it stops at 81%.
Is there any chance to make it work?
I had that very motherboard, and I regret to inform you it's complete garbage.
The replacement micro atx board I got for it for 70 bucks blows it away in benchmarks and runs more stable.
You may want to look into the bios updates via asus, but I don't think they have patched anything since the one that made the 5850 work with it.
