BIOS Start, Shutdown, Restart with SSD on Marvell 6G port

[Longspeak]

Set Intel and Marvell SATA controllers to AHCI in BIOS. Did a Win7 Pro clean install with AHCI pre-install drivers on SSD connected to Intel 3G port. Installed Marvell 1027 drivers. Boot sequence is normal.

Then moved SSD to Marvell 6G sata port and I always get a fans starting for about 1 second, fans stop for about 1 second and then continues with a normal restart and a successful boot into Windows. Drive Boot Priority is set to SSD in BIOS.

I also have 'noise' with the SSD on Marvell 6G port that does not occur when on Intel 3G port-hard to describe but perhaps 'scratchy or sizzling'-seems to be related to disk activity. Can't tell where noise is coming from-motherboard power controller?? Noise doesn't seem normal??

Any ideas on abnormal startup sequence and noise issues?

Its your motherboard not playing nice with the Sammy.

Please go to BIOS and select RAID or IDE. Then boot up again, let us know. thx

As a gigabyte mobo owner, your symptoms are likely caused by cpu,mem,voltages settings a.k.a MIT. When my OC's are detected as "unstable", it acts like that

Set Marvell Controller from AHCI to IDE (RAID not a choice) per your request and got same results.



Andle: I'm not OCing and get same results with Fail Safe Defaults loaded
