Hello,
After a thorough search through the forum, I can't solve my weird problem:
Before all, my setup is:
- Windows 8.1 PRO X64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64 Pro upgrade)
- SSD Samdung 840 Pro (O/S)
- HDD Hitachi 1TB (Data)
- HDD WD Green 2tb (Storage)
- MB: Gigabyte X58 Extreme
Yesterday, I turned my PC on as usual and letf it loading windows for like 2 minutes. When I had a sit and tried the mouse it wasn't working, the other USB components were working fine, I logged off, unplugged the mouse and plugged back again, it didn't work. Restarted windows, and after the BIOS splah screen came up, the mouse light was on, which means this time the mouse was working, but suddenly I get this BSOD:
I restarted the PC, and it started the automatic repair process, however the same BSOD came up.
I should say that I have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 using a Windows 8 Upgrade DVD but I was able to perform a clean install. I have upgraded to windows 8.1 afterwards. The SSD always worked fine in AHCI mode. I haven't installed nothing in the previous day, unless Windows installed any update or driver itself, but the automatic updates are off, and that's what is confusing me.
I've tried loads of procedures, started by changing from AHCI to IDE, switched cables, reset CMOS, system recovery, and refresh install. If I select refresh install, a message comes up saying that the drive is locked and needs to be unlocked. I've tried all "bootrec" comands, it does not detect any windows instalations. I used the macrium PE usb drive to attempt a backup of the SSD, and it was successful, I could access to any file in it, which makes me believe that the SSD is not faulty. All the drives are detected by the BIOS, however, if I change to AHCI mode, no driver is detected. I cannot even boot into safemode.
I believe that I cannot repair a windows 8.1 installation with a windows 8 upgrade disc and that's probably the reason why the automatic repair failed, so what are my options here?
Cheers
