Can't use RAID / AHCI in GA-870A-UD3
« on: October 22, 2010, 01:18:56 am »
I have no f***ing idea what is happening.

I just can't install Windows 7 x64 when I set RAID mode or AHCI mode in BIOS. When I set IDE mode everything runs fine.

I get BSOD right after 'starting windows' screen in the begin of instalation.


I already tried with different processor, power suply, memories, video card, hdds, bios version, instalation disc;

Even with no hdd attached I get BSOD, always 0x000000007f or something saying my system does not support acpi.

It is rev2.1


Any other ideas?

Hi there and welcome to the forum,

Not sure why you are having this problem but if you could provide a list of all your hardware, CPU, RAM (specs and speeds) PSU, HDD(s), DVD/CD drive, Graphics Card, mouse, keyboard etc., we might be able to notice something that is causing the issue.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

1055T default
Hyper 212 Plus
2x4GB 1600 generic
Vapor-X 5770
2 x WD SATA3 1TB

Optical drive in AHCI or IDE mode, in both SATA3 and SATA2 controllers makes no difference, always BSOD
