Bluescreen crash on GA-P55A-UD4P when using Sata 6 or 7 board connect with SSD

[Fizzy]

I beleive at this point, being that my system runs just fine on the Intel SATA ports, I will leave it at that. The potential performance boost to the amount of work that will be required is not that apealing.  I really am not looking forward to a complete strip-down, reinstall of drivers, OS, apps, games.. God, no. Lol

I thank you all for your invaluable aid on this.  I believe we can consider this issue close. Time to move on to other things... I was thinking.. should I upgrade my CPU from an i5-750 to an i7-870 ?  Might as well hold off and do a complete rebuild in a year or two. (The old trifecta . Mobo, CPU ram).
It never stops, does it. ... Lol

It is probably a good idea to make a System Image of your drive once completed and everything is running ok. As you don't exactly relish the thought of a complete reinstall etc it does  make things a lot easier if you need to start again for some reason.

[Fizzy]

Oh, I have Acronis scheduled to do regular images for me.  I'm meticulous about that.. But you've all convinced me that the performance advantage will probably minimal at best. 

Thanks again.

The Intel ports are best anyway, so no need to worry about moving away from them, we were trying to talk you into moving TO the Intel ports because you were using the Marvell ports which was giving you BSOD's.  Did I miss something, I'm confused since you say you'll leave it on the Intel controller,

[Fizzy]

Now I'm confused too!  Lol.  I was under the assumption that the sata parts 0-5 were intel controled, and the Sata 3 ports ( 6-7) we Marvel controlled.  I'd only get blue screens when attaching the OS drive to one of those two Marvel ports ( 6 or 7).

[Rolo42]

Wait--you did perform a new OS install when you plugged into the Marvell ports, correct?

As for which is which, look at the manual.

Haha, what's going on?  We don't know  

OK, you want it on the first Intel port (SATAII_0 blue against PCB).   You had to have been using or testing it on the Marvell controller (GSATA3_6/7 White), otherwise you shouldn't have got the Marvell error BSOD (mv91vv.sys).   If you are not, and were not using those ports, that is VERY ODD and would sound almost impossible... unless maybe you have loaded the Marvell drivers possibly(?)   Not sure if they can cause error being loaded though without being used.  

So just double check everything, you want your SSD on the Intel ports, using Intel drivers, preferably on the first Intel blue port at the top of the stack under the white ports, against the PCB.

Hope that helps!  

*Edit*

OK, I see!   Sorry, I just re-read everything, and now I see you were indeed testing the 6Gb/s ports.  Sorry about forgetting, I did read your original post the first time I commented, but just must have forgot after that.    So ya, those are the cause of the error, and the Intel ones are faster and more stable anyway, so stick with Intel!

[Fizzy]

And that my friends, is that.  Thanks again!

[Dark Mantis]

Just remember....Intel - good, Marvell - bad! 

[Lsdmeasap]

Actually DM, I think the Z68 Marvell controllers aren't so bad, at least no where near as bad stability-wise as 9128, and they are faster too.

But ya, for best stability always use Intel!
