Hello,
Last Monday, I got a new GTX 670 GPU. Since then I have been having a BSOD memory management error. I believe this to be because of a hardware fault.
I decided to update the BIOS as this may help with my problem. I ran the MSI program that auto-found the updates. I closed all apps and flashed from inside Windows 8. I haven't been able to get into the OS since then. It's coming up with a constant 'preparing automatic repair'. I cannot get into safe mode by pressing F8. Should I do a clean install of Windows 8?
Please help me. This has gone from messed up drivers to broken OS.




 


Your storage controller's mode of operation was probably defaulted back to one other than that which was used to install Windows.

Try flipping it between IDE, AHCI, and RAID.
