BIOS Update Error! Help!

[NeoFrux]

Try setting your SATA mode under the Main section of your BIOS to IDE instead of AHCI and try again; As with Legacy boot mode, you'll want to set this back to AHCI once we're done with SeaTools.

Hello double-post. How are you today?

Can't change AHCI Mode to anything else. It is the only setting

Ok, what I got is the same blue screen, even though my flash drive's LED inside it is flashing... What would be the problem?

Well crap. Okay, then, in that case, I'll have to find something else that'll specifically work with AHCI; Maybe a Linux Live distro with SMART tools on it. Anyway, for now, go ahead and reset the boot mode setting to UEFI and move on to Memtest86. It'll take a couple of hours to properly show whether or not there's any issues with your RAM.

What. Hahaha, wow, okay then. Glad that worked?  How weird! Best make a backup while you've got the opportunity just in case, but other than that, yeah, it's been a crazy ride trying to diagnose this one. You might still want to do the Memtest, and while you've got Windows up, run DiskCheckup's self-tests, all the same. Beyond that... Enjoy!

Hmm, since this case is solved, which reply should I choose as the answer?

I would start by restoring defaults in the bios, then check to see if you are booting in BIOS or UEFI mode.  I've seen firmware updates change this before.  The OS won't boot if your hardware is trying to use BIOS when the OS was installed in UEFI mode.  If you don't want to mess around troubleshooting, the quickest way to recover might be to take the HDD out of this computer, plug it into another one so you can copy any of your files off, then just reinstall Windows.

That's a very good question. I'd say the one where you said it was booting up normally, since that doesn't contain any other recommendations other than resetting the UEFI boot setting.

That's UEFI for you.  Isn't it fun?
