    Changing IDE to AHCI Mode

    Hi guys, I thought i might put this up for people that also might have missed this setting to get AHCI mode working on your motherboard.

    A mate of mine decided to look into it and found a Windows Vista/7 fix so you can enable AHCI mode in your BIOS without the system blue screening, like it does for most computers that are already set on IDE mode.

    Now most of you guys might already knows this but I didn't and all my computers where set on IDE mode and when I would change it to AHCI it would just crash when booting so I just thought oh well it don't work and never bothered with it again. But it seems if you set AHCI mode BEFORE installing Windows you wont have this issue, but if you did not set it before then running this Fix will fix your problem *Smile Windows blue screens after switching to ahci mode :)

    Ok run this Fix > Error message occurs after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive - Microsoft Support then go to your BIOS, change your settings from IDE mode to AHCI mode, save and exit, boot into Windows, it will then install all the drivers that you need for this Mode. Once its finished it will ask you to reboot, reboot and your done *Smile Windows blue screens after switching to ahci mode :)

    Made a big difference for me in boot times and file transfer times, everything sped up alot.

    Startup Blue Screen

    Hi Jon,

    Startup blue screen error(s) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly. It could be due to the following:

    • Outdated device software drivers
    • Corrupted Windows update system files
    • Software/Security conflicts

    We would like to know some information:

    • Did you get any blue screen stop error codes?
    • Have you tried booting in Safe mode?

    We suggest that you check this
    article
    about troubleshooting blue screen errors and follow the troubleshooting steps provided there.

    We will wait for your response
