I have a Windows 7 system I built that has been running without issues for several years. I have an SSD drive from a laptop that I no longer need that I'd like to install in this system. Based on a number of recommendations I found on this forum, prior to installing the SSD I tried to switch to AHCI mode but I started getting random blue screens. I ran the wizard found at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/922976 and switched the SATA mode in the bios from Disabled to AHCI, but now I'm getting random blue screens with irql_not_less_or_equal. When I switched the SATA mode back to Disabled the blue screens stopped.
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP45-DS3R Bios F10
Hard Drive: WDC WD1001FALS
Display adapter: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Processor: Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
I tried analyzing the minidump file but I didn't see anything that seemed to point to a specific driver or issue.
Any suggestions on what will stop the blue screens other than not using AHCI?
