Plugging in my HTC One into my ASrock based system was giving me a BSOD, so I did a BIOS update. Update seemed to work OK, but now I am getting into the Windows startup screen and I briefly see a BSOD that's too quick to read and the system restarts.

Any ideas how to fix this? I have changed to ACPI. I have also gone through Windows Startup Repair, which says "could not detect a problem"

Win7x64
Booting from a WD, 1T HDD.
 
Solution
I think I've solved the problem. There are two places in the BIOS where one can check AHCI, one is general and one is for Marvell. I re-downloded the BIOS, Installed it again, went back into the BIOS utility and set both, turned off CIR and the USB 3.0 controller, and booted successfully. I suspect that it was the AHCI that I did wrong before, but I will prove this by backing out my changes, one at a time.

Back shortly.
