When I set my Onboard SATA Ctrl Mode to AHCI (from IDE) I get a BSOD that I can't see because the system immediately reboots.
How can I get it to hold on the BSOD error?

Why do you need to? if its bsod'ing you can go into c:\windows\minidump and look for a *.dmp file. thats the log file of what happened. zip it and up load it so we can analyse it for ya.

Let us know if you need help with either zipping or uploading

Ken

edit: if its not in minidump search for *.dmp

you could try:

control panel >> system and security >> system >> advanced system settings >> startup and recovery settings >> untick 'auto restart' box

(although there's probably a quicker way to get there :p)

This is a known issue on some boards / BIOSs. If you don't have the "SATA/RAID" drivers installed, you will get a BSOD if you try to switch. I will post the workaround if I get time but I would go in this direction.

This may help

Thanks guys. I solved the BSOD restart with
"Change the value data in the AutoReboot value to 0 (zero), instead of 1, in the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\CrashControl".

The AHCI thing is weird though. My HDDs are AHCI enabled in BIOS and that's OK, but when I change 'Onboard SATA Ctrl Mode' to AHCI (from IDE) I get a BSOD. I thikn this affects the CD/DVD drives only - I might be wrong on that!

I've attached a BIOS screenshot. (My settings also have SATA mode set to Native - not as per image.)

Thanks.
I got the BSOD reboot issue working, but haven't got the 'why does W7 BSOD with it set to IDE' issue resolved.

Yep, if I set the Onboard SATA/IDE Control Mode to AHCI then I get the blue screen.

Here's a screen of the BSOD. (Totally useless message, of course!)
No sign of the usual 'dumping' message.
Any ideas?

We never give up just have to get some sleep and a life sometimes. that stop code is a hard drive controller error and is one of the most comman. Are you running a raid, or external HD?

the info can be found here STOP 0x0000007B Blue Screen Errors

If you switch it to AHCI you are gonna have to reinstall windows again with it set to AHCI..

This is a known issue on some boards / BIOSs. If you don't have the "SATA/RAID" drivers installed, you will get a BSOD if you try to switch. I will post the workaround if I get time but I would go in this direction.

Thanks again guys, but I'm obviously not explaining myself well here.
I am running with the HDDs on AHCI quite happily. The registry entry for AHCI is fine.
My GA-P35C-DS3R has 2 SATA controllers, one by Intel (4 port) and one by Gigabyte (2 port).
I have my 3 HDDs connected via SATA to the Intel controller and everything is fine.
Normally, I have the Gigabyte controller set to IDE, BUT whenever I change that to AHCI then Windows 7 produces the blue screen above.
The strange thing is that I need to have the Gigabyte Onboard Control set to AHCI to get a Mac OSX86 boot CD to work, and Mac OS works quite happily with either setting.
What is the problem with W7?

Please see post #18 above. It's not the system drive (or any HDD) that is the problem!
