Title: Gigabyte Z77m-D3H BSOD at startup (Windows 7 Home 64 bit) [SOLVED]
Post by: MyNameIsMarc on June 28, 2012, 10:13:58 pm
So I recently built a system with this motherboard, and when I turned it on for the first time, I started to encounter some problems. At first it seemed like everything went well, the bios passes and I see the "Starting Windows" logo on the screen. But then, I get a random BSOD out of nowhere. The blue screen flashes for about a millisecond and then the system restarts immediately. I tried using a different hard drive, but the same thing happend again.

So since then, Ive tried to mess with some settings in the bios. I updated the bios to the latest F8 version, and like a few people suggested on the Internet, I tried changing the BCLK from 100.0 to 100.1 Mhz, and I tried to disable the C3/C6 State Support in Advanced Frequency Settings>Advanced CPU Core Features>C3/C6 State Support. But still, it wouldn't work, and I got the same bsod flash again.

System specs:

Core i7 2700k @ Stock
Radeon 7850 2gb Gddr5
16gb ddr3 @ 1333 Mhz
Cooler Master 600w Silent Pro PSU
Gigabyte Z77m-D3H
Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB HDD
Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB HDD (Both used for boot, but none of them seemed to work)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

So if anyone has any suggestions, I would gladly appreciate it!

Are you running your HDD in AHCI or IDE mode?

The HDD itself was by default set to IDE mode. I tried to change it to AHCI mode, but I got the same problem again.

Nevermind, I managed to fix it! I reinstalled Windows 7 on the HDD using Win 7 repair tool. I had already pre installed it on the HDD before I went ahead and used it on the MOBO stupid enough.

I would appreciate if an admin or a mod would close this :)
