I'm working with a Biostar TZ77XE4 motherboard and Win 7 64 bit. Samsung 830 SSD. Giving me fits with errors, then I read this post above where this dude is having the same problem with the same hardware. A suggested answer was " you have to copy the AHCI files to a USB device before installing operating system "

Well, I did copy the Intel AHCI files to USB, and I'm using the the correct 6gb Intel ports. The mobo manual does say to load AHCI drivers on a USB..
The Samsung SSD is fine. The bios default is IDE,but I switched it to AHCI before installing Win 7. The top two 6GB ports are Intel, the bottom two 6GB are Asmedia ASM1061. I did try Win 7 SP1 install via USB, and same problem. I tried different ram, different SSD, different power supply. same problem. It won't play nice with a SSD. I installed the Intel drivers during the win 7 install, and I get "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001" , this is on a M4 SSD, completely formatted .

I switched to IDE in the bios, and Win 7 installed much slower, but it did install. I did the Win 7 registry hack to change to AHCI, then changed bios to AHCI, tried to load the Intel mgmt software..and BAM..bluescreen..
 
yeah, I forgot to mention I did the bios update by installing win 7 on a regular hard drive, then updated the bios.
