Can't boot Windows 8.1 in after installation UEFI

mascot4m · Nov 4, 2014

Hello,

I just bought new PC:
Core i5-4590
Gigabyte H97 Gaming 3
Gainward nVidia GTX760 Phantom 2GB DDR5
Crucial 8GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL8 Ballistix Tactical LP
SSD Intel 520 120GB Bulk
Western Digital Blue 1000GB 64MB cache

I can start installation of Windows 8.1 from DVD in UEFI mode, but after first restart during installation Win should boot from SSD, but it won't. I found out, that in bios I can't even see the SSD or HDD in UEFI booting option, only Legacy. I tried to convert SSD to GPT (necessity for installation) but it won't help.

Any suggestions? I tried everything and I am desperate.
Thanks

I would try disconnecting the wd hard drive, clear cmos, on restart go into bios and make sure hard drive is set to achi. then restart and insert DVD.

Thanks for answer. When I was installing Win on SSD, HDD was always disconnected and vice versa. I tried your advice with clear cmos and nothing changes. And ACHI is set.

Update the BIOS then see if it works

Already updated to F5, no change.

Wonder if that SSD needs a firmware update. Their 530 SSD had firmware probs. And it kept disappearing too

Do you know what firmware is on this SSD??

I would burn the ISO here leave it connected and see if it gets updated

Obviously you cant use the toolbox you cant get into windows !

Here's the 530 prob. Sounds similar to yours

Customers couldnt use it because nothing could see it! It kept disappearing after reboots

If I were you I would replace the SSD / RMA it

I would avoid the 520 and 530. Both have firmware bugs

Tried burn ISO file, says that firmware of SSD is up to date. And I have another HDD, WD 1000GB Blue with the same problem. And I can boot Win from old HDD with Win 7...

mmm try another SATA port. If 2 hdds have the same prob, the mobo maybe faulty
