Right guys, i plugged the drive into the sata6 port and enabled ahci mode in the bios, i then installed windows 7 premium x64 to where it installed it then on the 1st reboot where it shows the windows starting logo after a few seconds it just bsods and continues to bsod.
I have even tried the install 3 times with secure erase in between with the same results, in fact this is the second drive i have purchased now with the same problems.
Now i have tried lots of different settings in the bios (like enabling smart status etc etc), but it is only giving me IDE/AHCI/RAID options so naturally i choose the AHCI which installed on my Samsung F4 hard drive fine after about 7 attempts.
Anyway after giving up in AHCI i then set it to IDE and a fresh install completed fine on the vertex 3, installed all the chipset drivers, IRST drivers and got windows updated.
Now i have tried doing the Regedit once it was up and running and changing it back to AHCI in the bios for it to just bsod in the same place on bootup.
I have tried the other sata3 port also.
Now i have enabled the XHD mode in the bios which the goes into raid mode automatically and boots up fine.
But still not native AHCI mode.
This is my second board as i took the first one back as i thought it was faulty and they swapped it with a brand new one.
I have tried F2, F3 and running the latest F5 bios with the same problems.
Now guys i am going crazy here so please help :)
