The driver would be the SATA controller driver which has a July 2015 Windows 10 driver here: CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z. There are no raid drivers that work for any version of windows on the AMD SB950 raid controller, for SSDs.

Hello, I have just been 'awarded' my third RMA in as many weeks for an ASUS Z170-Deluxe motherboard. On this third go around, I had the system up and running with Win7 Pro 64Bit, updated the OS and installed Chrome and Skype. Everything was normal. BIOS accessible on Boot, no problem. THEN.upon installing the driver for a Samsung 950Pro NVME SSD - the BIOS got corrupted. I planned to use Samsung's Migration Tool to move the Win7 64 Bit OS from the HDD to the 950Pro. Today, after over 2 hours of tech effort with a good ASUS tech person we could not recover from the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH. Loading into BIOS would work, but the screen would go black in 1 sec. Sometimes the UEFI BIOS was accessible for a short time. At the final stage the BIOS no longer could recognize the 2TB HDD boot drive, or the DVD player. I used Samsung's download for the driver. What is the speciality of the drivers on this forum? Why would the BIOS get corrupted in this way?? Windows 7 was fully installed and updated and working just fine. I have another new Asus Z170-Deluxe ready for the fourth attempt. Would appreciate some guidance to make this system build work. Hello Fernando. Really thanks. I am happy to find a solid technical resource to deal with this issue. Here are answers to your questions. -1- How did I install the driver ANS- I placed the latest Samsung Driver for the 950Pro in a folder of the C drive. After that I installed the 950Pro into the M.2 slot on the motherboard and rebooted. Windows then presented a dialogue box saying there is a new PCI device but no driver. I clicked the driver option and went to the folder. The Samsung Driver was run as administrator and by all appearances installed normally. -2- Did you install the Win7 x64 driver ANS- The Samsung Website only has one NVME driver shown. They note this driver like this * Notice: The driver operates in Windows 7/8.1/10 x86/x64. Web link is here. O re piya song mp3. So YES, I believe the driver was the proper driver. Hence my question about the drivers mentioned here. -3- Win 10 Install No, I did not use a trial installation of Win10. Due to intended use, I prefer to have the Win7 OS> Also.As the BIOS became corrupted a Win10 trial seems to no longer be an option. No way to boot as the HDD cannot be seen by the BIOS now. Very strange. Your thoughts? I really don't understand why the most direct BIOS flash method could not restore the BIOS to normal condition. We used three different BIOS versions and all were flashed by a USB and a motherboard button. This supposed to be the means to assure 100% rewrite of the entire BIOS. Instead the problem got worse and ultimately could not even boot to Windows. Much appreciated. Zitat von im Beitrag Zitat von Fernando 1. How did I install the driver? I placed the latest Samsung Driver for the 950Pro in a folder of the C drive. You obviously did not place the 'pure' driver (containing an *.INF, *.CAT and *.SYS file) into that folder, but an *.EXE file, which contains an installer. The included various drivers for different Operating Systems and their architecture (32/64bit) are compressed and hidden. Zitat von im Beitrag Zitat von Fernando 2. Did you install the Win7 x64 driver? The Samsung Website only has one NVME driver shown. Samsung offers just an installer, but not the 'pure' drivers for Win7 x86/x64. You can find the download link to the latest 'pure' 32/64bit Samsung NVMe drivers v1.4.7.17 WHQL for Win7 within the start page of this thread. Zitat von im Beitrag Your thoughts?
