I just recently upgraded my self-built pc from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, and it's been running fine except for an occasional BSOD that seems to be related to the file mv91xx.sys. I went to my Marvell controller in the device manager and tried to update the driver, but Windows comes back saying that the drivers are up to date. Any help would be much appreciated, as I am rather new to this BSOD error debugging.

Hi JTerek88 & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

I have analysed your dump files and below has been provided an analysis of the same for informative purposes :-

Let's check the driver date of the Marvell Controller -

Code: 
7: kd> lmvm mv91xx
start             end                 module name
fffff800`596e2000 fffff800`5976e000   mv91xx   T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: mv91xx.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\System32\drivers\mv91xx.sys
    Image name: mv91xx.sys
    Timestamp:        Thu Jul 01 07:25:14[COLOR=#FF0000][U][B] 2010 [/B][/U][/COLOR](4C2BF582)
    CheckSum:         00054DFC
    ImageSize:        0008C000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
As we can see that it dates back to the year 2010 and most likely is not compatible with Windows 8.1 . You would need to go to the Support page of your motherboard manufacturer, enter the model of your motherboard and download the latest Windows 8.1 compatible drivers for your Marvell Controller.

If no drivers are found then see if you can find any over this support page - Marvell - Support - Driver Downloads

If all this fails, I must advise you to revert back to Windows 7 for compatibility. But, that is your choice :)

Let me know how it goes ^_^

blueelvis, Thank you for the feedback! I did see a SATA 6Gb/s ISO on the motherboard manufacturer's website that was dated to 2011 (I believe that was the latest date I saw). I had installed a non-ISO driver for the SATA 6Gb/s chipset, and it contained the suspect file. I am suspecting that what I installed was the normal software driver, and that what needs updated is the chipset firmware. I will play around with it in the next few days and let you know what I figure out.

Also, I didn't look at Marvell's driver page either, so I will definitely try that as well. My one question for you is that when you analyzed the dump file up above, did it list all of the BSOD's that have happened recently? I was wondering if the same file was the culprit for all of them. The BSOD's that I have been present for have all listed the mv91xx.sys file, but there has been times where I've left the computer on and have come back to see that it rebooted itself. I can only imagine that it was a BSOD that occurred while I was not there, and so I could not confirm that it was caused by the same mv91xx.sys file. In any event, thank you again for your help!

Hi JTerek88 ^_^,

Yes, the dump files blamed the Marvell Controller.
You need to update the Chipset drivers as well. If there is no version compatible, I think that you might need to downgrade to Windows 7.

Let me know how it goes ^_^

So, EVGA pointed me towards an updated driver. I think I figured out how to install it; using the device manager on the control panel, the date on my Marvell 6 Gb/s controller was 7/18/2010. Now, the driver is dated 10/11/2013. I think this might have solved the problem!

For future reference, if anyone else ever has a similar problem, the link that EVGA gave me was:

New Driver for Marvel 91xx controller for SATA3 6GB/S - EVGA Forums

The advice from EVGA support was the following:

"I was able to find a forum post with other customers who experienced a similar issue here: New Driver for Marvel 91xx controller for SATA3 6GB/S - EVGA Forums There would be a link which will point you to download the Marvell Drivers Version 1.2.0.1041. : Other customers have reported that this resolved their issue. I would only recommend downloading the Driver and not the optional BIOS from the site."

I will now wait to see if I get anymore BSOD's or not. For now, I will mark this thread as solved. Of course, if another BSOD occurs, I will have to change the solved status ha. Thanks again for your help blueelvis!
