BSOD 0x7B if I update the driver for Standard AHCI 1.0 SATA controller
Hi again, will post this as a quote since I had it posted on Winraid but so far no one has an clue yet on my problem, here it goes:
So, thatīs my motherboard, so far it has been running with Microsoft drivers. See the following image.
For some reason, when I first tried to install Windows, that storage controller was not being recognized on AHCI mode, but on IDE. After some google search, I found that I needed to use some driver to get the AHCI mode recognized, although the motherboard was not so new. I had to use a gigabyte tool that made some changes to the USB image or something so that the controller could get recognized. (Google Search for: GA-B85M-D3H Windows install AHCI).
For some odd reason, every time I tried to update the storage driver (using any version available, I first used the ones recommended, then I tried the ones that matched my chipset or version, having the same result with all of them), the driver recognized the controller but upon reboot I always got the BSOD. Resetting and running the last known good resolved the trouble everytime. What I want to know is whatīs happening? why I canīt update the storage driver?.
If I try to boot on IDE mode, it gives the same error as well.
The question is, whatīs going on with this motherboard then? Do I need to change something on the registry before updating? Is there something wrong with my installation?

20-12-2017Update...
Adding more info to the post, I was able to get the ntboot.log (attached), it has 3 boot attemps, the first is the bsod, the second was a pretty slow boot after choosing the last know good on the recovery menu, like 5min. but it booted normally or so, and the third was just a reboot just to check the speed, it came up normal. The thing is the last line of each attemp before showing me the log on screen or going bsod:
At the first boot, it stops there, the second one:Code:Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys
But it continue booting and I got to the desktop, no errors, but the third:Code:Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys
This investigation is getting spooky by the minute. So far I havenīt been able to collect a bsod dump of the error.Code:Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys Loaded driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\asyncmac.sys
Update...
More info found; I donīt know what to believe...
msahci seems disabled...
pciide enabled...
After trying to go back to AHCI, I find this... could it be that I am not on AHCI mode but IDE mode? (on Bios is set to AHCI, is this right?)
Update... again
I tried to enable the IAStor driver manually (which interestingly they were after installation) and then rebooting... and BSOD. Decided to try the recovery console to see what it said, and it showed that the error was because of a bad driver recently installed...[oh2]
I really would like to know whatīs going on with this system???
Another update...
I changed manually from AHCI to IDE via registry and bios and guess what...
It worked...
The question is... now what?
Question added...
Could it be that the drivers have to be installed during Windows installation? Anyone could shed a light on this please?
Remember that I had the Microsoft drivers for AHCI mode?...
Guess what happened at reboot?
You guessed right my friend... bsod.
Now whatīs going on??? why is this happening? how come not even the Microsoft drivers donīt work... could it be... that this motherboard is not really... in ahci mode although the bios and the device manager say it is...
More info later.
Fernando... I seek your wisdom, anyone, please, help me.
---------------------------------
That was my post on Winraid, not able to find help there, I turn to seek wisdom here. Someone please, at least tell me, whatīs going on my system? Do I have AHCI enabled? or is it some sort of deprecated mode? or some IDE emulation over SATA? I know it should be pretty straight forward to updated a driver but this time is weird.
