Hi guys,
Having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I am not new to building rigs but I am new to the UEFI setup. I recently upgraded from an old Q6600 to a new i5 4670K sitting on an ASUS Z87-A. I have transferred my drives over from my previous rig and they have never given me any problems before.
I am running 2 x 1Tb (6Gb/s and a 3Gb/s), 1 x 500Gb (3Gb/s) and a 64Gb (1.5Gb/s) Kingston SSD. I have Windows 7 install on the SSD for gaming and another copy installed onto one of the 1Tb drives for Uni work and other general stuff.
The problem I have is that the SSD will sometimes not boot when selected cause an error stating that winload.exe cannot be found. After a reboot or two it will boot into the OS without issue and continue to work. I am currently running without the UEFI and secure boot turned on as this seemed to create even more issues and I ended up losing the OS on the 1Tb completely.
All I would like is a system that boots up regularly and without issue. Is there a fool proof way of installing the OS's correctly with or without the UEFI turn on that will give me back a stable booting system? They only major issue I found with dual booting Windows 7 with the UEFI turn on was that winload.exe was changed to winload.efi and that was a little harder to sort out so would not mind leaving it off.
Other then to boot problems the system is running lovely and happily overclock to 4.5Ghz and running BF3/4 at no more them 54c
Sorry if the post is a little hard to understand,
Hope someone can help,
Cheers
Blinky
