I have been building a new PC. I spent many hours on it getting it just the way I want. I finally got Windows 7.1 installed and fully updated and had reserved my copy of Windows 10, but I have not installed it yet.
I decided to update the firmware on my MOBO since it was a little out dated.
A little about my system:
MOBO ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer
CPU Intel i7 4790K
OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
HDD - SATA, 750 GB 7200 RPM (no RAID)
The MOBO had version 2002 BIOS
I updated it to version 2016 BIOS
After I did that windows will no longer boot. It just tries to go into recovery mode but that fails to fix the issue.
I read some threads about ensuring that the HDD in the BIOS is still set to AHCI and not IDE. I verified that is in fact still set to AHCI in the BIOS.
Even after I re-flashed the BIOS to version 2002 it still will not boot.
I'm really hopping I don't have to reinstall the OS again.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
