Hi everyone hopefully someone can help me.
Here are my specs
Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4 BIOS version 4
AMD A10-5800k APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Corsair 4mb times 2

I just installed a new ssd 250gb and cloned over my old ssd 128gb, When I try to go into the BIOS to change the boot order all I get is a blue screen with Gigabyte BIOS written at the top. Nothing else.
I have reset the bios on the motherboard numerous times and I have downloaded the newest bios version. Still the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Barrie

Hmm.. I dont really know what can cause it.

But have you tried the simple solution yet? Just take out the other drives, leave only the one you want to start up with and it will become the primary :).

Also, there are 2 different places you can change the boot order in the bios. 1 is when you hit F2-F4 I think, (the main bios menue, where youc an change everything) and the other where you can only change the boot order (F10 or something like that). The second one is the one that continues without a reboot and is inheritently more buggy. Try the main boot menue, there should be section for boot and one for in there for boot oder.

Cheers.

Since you cloned it, I am pretty sure you can, but I am just checking. Can you use it as a secondary drive? I.e. does windows recognise it?

Secondly, have you tried making a backup and then recovering on the new ssd? I.e. format the new ssd (if you have still the old ssd witht he OS and all the files on it ofc.) and make a backup of your computer on an external drive or dvd. Then make the new, formated ssd the main drive and use the external drive or DvD to recover widows on it. That should I think work more reliably then cloning.
