Hey Guys,
PC_Tuner.. following this with interest. Congrats on being an early adopter.
I use sleep on all of my machines. Problems resuming from sleep or hibernate are almost always related to Disk Controller FW, Controller Driver or BIOS. I know... whats left
We all remember the resume issues first gen SandForce controller had 3+ yrs ago. Hope you can figure this out. Beautiful if you can get it working. Looks like the latest BIOS only adds support for additional DDR/XMP profiles. Not storage. Intel is offering v1.2.0.1002 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23929/Intel-Solid-State-Drive-Data-Center-Family-for-PCIe-Drivers
I feel like this is related to the controller driver. Why, because you get the Inaccessible Boot Device (STOP error) after losing the system and on 1st restart. Win10 and 8.1. I'm guessing of course.
Hey, I've downloaded the latest Intel drivers for ssd and am still having this issue unfortunately. I'm going to go ahead and paste in my response to recommendations provided by members of Intel forums to fix this issue. A direct link to the discussion on the intel forums is listed below if anyone wants to take a look at what they recommended. As eluded to in the post below, I'm not sure of the exact BIOS configuration needed to optimally get this drive working on a z170 gigabyte board. Any insight from you guys on this specifically would be much appreciated!
https://communities.intel.com/thread/80266Hi Jonathan, I confirmed I had the latest drivers for the intel 750 ssd via the link you provided and even uninstalled and re-installed them once again (on the intel boot drive) making sure all programs were closed during the installation. As it turns out, I forgot to install the official intel drivers for the ssd on the Samsung boot drive, however they were present on the Windows installation using the Intel SSD as the boot drive. Sorry about that, long night of troubleshooting made me forget that crucial step somehow. However, it would make no difference as this resulted in no change with the Intel SSD failing to be detected while on my current Samsung boot drive. Testing using the intel 750 SSD as the boot drive also showed no difference, with black screens eventually leading to the system restarting once more. Interestingly, the mouse and keyboard were connecting now and are lit up during the resume process but the system still does function.
I then referred to the manual that you linked me and tried to discern the general settings to use on a z170 motherboard by looking at the set up requirements for the x99 and z97 Gigabyte chipset. Through this, I changed "storage boot option control" from "legacy" to "UEFI". To be clear other relevant settings (unchanged) were:
Windows 8 features: Windows 8/10
Other PCI Device ROM priority: UEFI
Fast Boot: Disabled
CSM: Enabled
Attempting the sleep state once again yielded no change in result resulting in the SSD failing and being undetected.
I also disabled Windows Fast Startup in the power options, and then proceeded to sleep my computer. When it powered back on, the Intel SSD was still present!!! Ah Jonathan, I thought you had fixed my problem for good, but i was sadly mistaken. Attempting to navigate into the SSD gave an error message stating that the chosen file path "was not inaccessible. The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error." I then tried disabling and re-enabling the driver which then forced a reboot of the system to re-enable the driver (this had not happened before). Trying the same method once again, this time showed no ssd. I then disabled and re-enabled the driver and it showed up once more and was fully accessible. One last time, I slept the computer again (still with fast startup disabled) and this time showed the intel ssd again. However, it was once again inaccessible and required a reboot to properly re-initialize the driver.
Lastly, their were some new events of note in event Viewer (alongside previously mentioned ones in original post) with several repeating countless times in minutes. These include:
Error at Source "IaNVMe" (event id 11): "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort4."
Error at Source "disk" (event id 154): "The IO operation at logical block address 0x476e0 for Disk 4 (PDO name: \Device\00000087) failed due to a hardware error." [MY NOTE: many of these errors occurred rapidly, at various block addresses]
Warning at Source "Nfts" (event id 140): "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: \\?\Volume{7e558c4a-ef96-4b8c-b6a4-5674c4a82e9f}, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume12. (The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error.)" [occurred numerous times]
Error at "DeviceSetupManager" (event ID 131): "Metadata staging failed, result={E84DF2CA-4ACE-11E5-9BC2-806E6F6E6963} for container '0x80070490'" [occurred numerous times].
Warning at "Kernel-PnP" (event id 219): "The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device SWD\WPDBUSENUM\{4d4b97c7-4ad4-11e5-8257-806e6f6e6963}#0000000000100000." [I believe this occurred when i tried to re-enable the driver myself and it forcing a restart to work]
How should i proceed further with this? Some bios configurations showed CSM being disabled but this was for older chipsets. Is there anyway, you could provide specific settings that you, or Intel recommends I should set with a with my specific z170 motherboard? Again, please let me know if you need further details from me! I'd like to get this sorted as soon as possible.
