Title: GA-H170-D3H not windows 10 compatible?
Post by: icube on January 09, 2016, 11:21:25 am

Hi,

I recently bought a new GA-H170-D3H and installed windows 10 on it.
After about 30 minutes to 1 hour of using the system, I experience the CRITICAL STRUCTURE CORRUPTION blue screen error. I tried all the combinations of different hardware, took out all the components and ran the bare minimum components and still gotten the blue screen error.

So i tried installed Windows 8.1 with the same hardware and it ran perfectly fine. No blue screen error at all!
I ran across this site: http://www.gigabyte.sg/MicroSite/381/w10.html and realize the model I bought (GA-H170-D3H) is not in the list.

So can i say that the GA-H170-D3H is not Windows 10 compatible? Or are there any drivers or BIOS I need to update to get Windows 10 to work on this motherboard?

Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is windows 10 compatible. It is a windows 10 problem not the mother board. Plus all windows 10 is just a bad make over of windows 8/8.1. Was this a update to windows 10 or a clean install. Once you have done the upgrade you now can do a clean install. You don't need a key.

i tried both upgrade and clean install of Windows 10... both faced the blue screen error... :(

So is there no drivers or software I need to install to solve this issue? any GA-H170-D3H users out there using Windows 10??

Here you can download this program and it might tell you what causing the BSOD.
