I've read almost every other article on here and tried everything in the registry that has been suggested. Still get a BSOD when I switch it. Now, I'm kind of wondering if I'm changing the right thing in the BIOS since other's are having success and I am not. It also switches the boot order when I switch whatever I am switching in the BIOS. So I have to set what I believe to be the SATA controller to AHCI, restart, change boot order, then still BSOD. I have no idea.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
I've set start to 0 here.

My BIOS is Award Software International F8 on a GA-P67A-UD4-B3 Gigabyte motherboard.

Just installed my Windows on here when I got this thing last week. I work from home and use a SERIOUS variety of tools, which took hours to set up on this new drive as it is. I'm trying to avoid reinstalling at all costs, but will if it's the last and only option.

EDIT: There are also a few times I receive no bootmgr instead of a BSOD.

Thanks in advance. SOS.
