Questions that may sound strange ...
What version of Windows does your motherboard support?
Do you use any add on ( PCI / PCIe ) cards that do not support UEFI and
load a BIOS?
Have you configured a specific type of video card in the kernel?
.
The reasons why I ask this :
The UEFI driver for video changes type & version between Win 7 & Win 8.
An LSI 9211-4i ( Raid Controller / SAS ) loads only a BIOS ... and
interferes with the Win 8 UEFI Video driver.
( It interferes enough with the Win 8 UEFI Video driver, that Win 7 will
work with it. )
It also means no console video until init is ( almost ) completed.
That is when the chosen specific video card frame buffer takes over.
