It can be set after install.

I know it can be set later, but if it is BSoD'ing during the install....on an Intel chipset...then there's a problem. It would also make me afraid the system would BSoD on the first reboot after changing.

Look at the 2 items I marked. Those are the only things i question.

Deacon, you are right in what you are saying. It shouldn't bsod in ahci mode. I have the same drive in another machine and it will run in ahci on Intel and AMD. That's why I think there is a problem with the way bios is set.

 

[panais]

Here how it looks now,i said enable IDE i mean disable ANCI.

Do you see anything wrong??

 

[DeaconFrost]

So if you set both options for AHCI, you then BSoD during your Windows 7 install?

I reinstalled windows 4 times!


If i remember well,


I touch only 2 things in bios the SATA RAID\AHCI Mode and the Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode.
In my first win7 installation i set only Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to AHCI and i get some strange messages.

In the second win7 installation i set both SATA RAID\AHCI Mode and the Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode in AHCI,i get BSOD.

In the thirth win7 installation i set only SATA RAID\AHCI Mode to AHCI,again BSOD.

And now i my last win7 installation i set the SATA RAID\AHCI Mode to Disable and SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to IDE and im still here.
---------------------------------------------

I may set again in bios the SATA RAID\AHCI Mode to AHCI and the Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to IDE and reinstall windows.

In the first crashes i snip this fast because is crash again very fast without minidump.

For your benefit, start using the proper term in case someone joins the thread later and is trying to follow up.

It's AHCI - Advanced Host Controller Interface. Someone could get confused if they are trying to read along.

I'm still thinking you should go back to OCZ and see if there's a problem with the drive. You shouldn't be BSoDing. Either that, or try to load the Intel drivers during the Windows 7 install, and see if that allows you to finish without the BSoD.

In post 102 above is from yesterday when you were putting it in AHCI mode. I think IDE control mode should be disabled and onboard sata/IDE mode should be AHCI not IDE. Deacon has a gigabyte board and can advise if I am wrong.

Ok ofcurse i will follow the advices.

Btw what about this error? Any clues from it?
If i remember well is from the first installation,i finish everything,updates etc,shutdown the pc,and the morning when i start the pc is started with BSOD.

 

[seth500]

What happen if you disconnect the other 3 drives and then install panais have you tried that?

Yes!

Anyone any idea from that error?

I ran my SSD in IDE mode for nearly 1 year as my BIOS introduced an 8 second delay at each boot that I didn't want to deal with. All of the automatic OS settings like disabling defrag and TRIM worked just fine on the drive in this configuration.

After running like this for some time, there was a BIOS update for my mobo which reduced the 8 second delay to 2 seconds. I installed the new BIOS, backed up my data and reinstalled Windows after switching to AHCI mode.

Honestly, i cannot tell, nor can I prove with a stopwatch that ANYTHING is noticeably faster in AHCI mode. A benchmark shows that it's faster in random 4K reads/writes (If I recall correctly), that was not measurable from a day to day perspective.

So, honestly, if your box blue screens in AHCI mode but runs fine in IDE mode....perhaps it's best to just run IDE mode. Go by how the drive actually performs, not by looking at screenshots of benchmarks that you cannot read and understand. If you installed in IDE mode and it boots fast, and launches applications instantly, and loads games faster than ever before....it's working.

 

[essenbe]

Seth, he tried that.

 

[seth500]

This is what I found concerning your error panais:

Random BSOD Windows 7 BBCode: F4 - TechSpot OpenBoards

It may not be related to the SSD since it's new but who knows.

I bought this ssd to work,play in AHCI and boost little my old system.....


Well,you are right all of you guys you are advice the right way

I may set again in bios the SATA RAID\AHCI Mode to AHCI and the Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode to disable if possile and reinstall windows. If i BSOD again i will disable AHCI, install again win7 and stick with IDE.

Seth, I searched also. Most of the ones I found say it is hardware related and usually either ram or hard drive.

 

[seth500]

Yeah that also what I found..

You mean the above last error?

I will run also the memtest then.

 

[essenbe]

Panais, You don't have to reinstall. You can simply do the registry hack Hopalong linked to and change to ahci. If it bsods again, just change bios back to IDE and it will boot fine.
