Re: [H] AHCI Mode
Steve, On my new Asus P8V77-Vpro m/b's that I am using to move to i5 processors, I notice that it seems the BIOS forces AHCI, or maybe Asus just defaulted this setting. In any case, this m/b runs like a raped ape! Very happy with it, and, its' EUFI BIOS is to die for with its' active mouse. Goodbye Award, Phoenix, and A??. Good luck, Duncan On 09/03/2014 06:33, Steve Tomporowski wrote: I suppose this is possible. When I first booted up the board, I was unfamiliar with the delays. Apparently the Hero polls all the USB devices on boot, so there is a long delay after the splash screen (mouse, keyboard, 2 USB hard drives, printer, scanner, 2 Midi Keyboards), so the screen goes black for a long time. The first time, I waited a few seconds, screen was still black and hit reset. Possible it could have happened then.

Ever heard of this before? No, once switched, I've never seen it switch back. Maybe the BIOS reset on a failed boot? T

[H] AHCI Mode
If you remember a few weeks ago, I installed an Asus Maximus VII Hero MB and moved over the SSD from the old system. I had to put the Hero into IDE mode to get the system to come up. Now a couple of weeks later, I'm looking at moving to AHCI and found instructions on the net. HOWEVER, when I went into the BIOS, the Hero is already in AHCI mode. I hadn't changed it.
