Windows 10: SATA III Controller Card issue on Warm Reboot.

So I thought I'd throw this out here and get some opinions. My computer recently has been BSODing upon warm reboots, and I noticed that I'm not seeing the ASM1061 Controller card's BIOS screen when restarting, and I'm trying to figure out if I have a failing card or if there's some sort of hand-off that Windows isn't doing that it should be doing. The machine will boot normally if I flip the hard switch on the PSU to off and leave it for a moment, and turn it back on, but if a restart is commanded from Windows (either by me or the system), it will fail to reboot until I do the before-mentioned toggling of the power supply. Here's what I typically see when booting fresh:

1) I see the controller card's BIOS splash:




2) After that screen clears the motherboard's splash screen comes up, and windows boots normally.

When I warm restart, I no longer see the controller card's BIOS splash, and go instead right to this:




After which I toggle the power switch on the power supply and back again after a few seconds, and then it boots normally.

I've combed through the bios looking for any power settings or other IO settings I think could maybe possibly affect this, and come up empty.

Some additional:
Firmware on both the controller card and the motherboard (Gigabyte G1 Gaming GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5) are both current.

Any thoughts?

Missing SATA controller?

While in the midst of helping RTW with a problem, I was looking through my device manager, and noticed that I have no SATA controllers listed. There are 3x Primary/Secondary IDE and 3x Standard Dual PCI Controller listed under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

Performance and stability wise, there is no issue. My hard disk is plugged in as usual with the SATA cable, and functions fine.

Yet I remember on an older board, I had SATA controllers, that reported my 1.5gb transfer rate and similar SATA specs.


Are there separate drivers for some modern boards?


I just got really curious when I saw this.

 

ASM106x SATA Controller in Win10 Device Manager


Hi,
I am struggling with a PCI -E x 1 expansion card. The card provides SATA-3 connectivity and I cannot get my Win10 system to recognise it properly (I think). I have connected an external hard drive (which is in a SATA supporting enclosure) to one of its sockets, but the hard drive is not recognised by my system. If I use a USB-2 connection instead, the drive is recognised. The expansion card is an ASMedia 1061and I have installed the latest Win10 driver for it. Having done so, I see that in Win10 Device Manager an 'Asmedia 106x SATA Controller' is now listed under 'Storage Controllers', whereas the driver installation instructions from ASMedia insist that it should appear under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers'. When I left click on 'Asmedia 106x SATA Controller'/Properties, all seems to be well - the Events tab shows that the device Configured, Installed and Started. No errors are shown.
Should the item really be under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' and if so, how do I get it there? My motherboard is a Gigagbyte GA-P35-DS3L using AHCI (which is demanded by the installation guide for the card).
Any suggestions would be appreciated - ultimately, if I can get the thing to work at all, I want to connect a SATA SSD to one of the internal connectors on the expansion card.

I don't have one of these cards/controllers, but the readme file for the driver says:

When you connect the drive to it, are you connecting the hard drive itself to the SATA port, or are you connected it through the enclosure? I would try taking the hard drive out of the enclosure and connecting the hard drive itself directly to the controller card, and, of course, a power cable from the power supply. It might be the enclosure that is interfering.
