I tried loading the Asmedia drivers from the installation screen, and the drivers from the SCSI folder are detected and do nothing, the drivers from the STOR folder causes a BSOD, but no specific error. Same problem as the pre-existing Windows install. It doesn't see the controller, doesn't see the drive.
So I decide to try a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2. Windows 10 uses the Standard AHCI Controller driver as well. It recognized the card and I was able to do a clean install to a fresh drive and it works just fine, drives show up as "Hard Drive", so I know the card is good. If I install from Setup, it also spontaneously reboots.įor no particular reason, I tried installing Windows 10 Build 10130. Windows does recognize those drivers as matching the card, but if I do a manual driver install, the computer spontaneously reboots. I Googled and found some Asmedia 106x drivers, v.2. They don't show up in Disk Management so I can't assign them drive letters or make them Online. Any drives plugged into it show up as "Other Devices" and not drives.
If I boot up the machine using the motherboard's AMD SATA controller, it detects the card as Standard AHCI Controller. Supposedly, it's compatible with Windows Standard AHCI Controller driver.ĭesired OS is Windows Server 2012 R2. No drivers came with the card, and none available to download. I put it on an MSI AM1I motherboard w/AMD 5350 and 8GB RAM. I bought this Syba SI-MPE40095 Mini PCI-e SATA RAID controller, ASM1061R chip.
