The system “hangs” (a
blank screen appears
and the OS will not load)
at the POST/start up. You have disabled AHCI mode in the BIOS. If you have installed the Windows Vista operating
system with AHCI mode enabled (default setting), DO NOT disable AHCI mode (if you wish to
disable AHCI mode you will need to reinstall the Windows VIsta OS). To correct this problem
press F2 at startup to enter the BIOS, enable AHCI mode, and then save the setting (see
“SATA
Mode Selection (Advanced Menu)” on page 5 - 9 ).
Make sure you have selected the appropriate O/S for your system in the BIOS e.g. Windows
Vista/Windows XP etc. Setting the incorrect O/S can also cause the system to “hang” (see
“Installed O/S (Advanced Menu)” on page 5 - 9 ).
