Hi
Yesterday I finally wanted to install Windows 7 on my self-configured computer with the following hardware components:
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H
Intel Core i7-2600K
OCZ3RPR1333C9LV16GQ (4x4GB Ram)
OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB
Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
300W power supply
The Windows 7 installation program started up successfully after the first boot, but I couldn't install the RevoDrive drivers because it wasn't recognized from the board. I played around with different BIOS settings and finally wanted to upgrade to the newest BIOS version for this board (F6). But Q-Flash always said that the new Flashfile is invalid. I tried all the available BIOS versions I found on the net (F3, F4 and F6a). Version F4 was the worst: The computer rebooted automatically after POST. F3 was better, but it crashed right after Windows 7 setup loaded all the files from the DVD.
In the meantime I discovered that the RevoDrive will be detected if it sits in the other PCI-x4 slot. But even if I remove the card Windows setup always crashes.
Unfortunately I neither backuped the original BIOS version nor do I know which version was installed after all.
Why isn't it possible to install the newest BIOS version (F6) with Q-Flash? What should I do to successfull install Windows 7?
Thanks for every hint.
