Yea i was thinking the same but just really wanted to make sure... Recommend any z77 or any other boards that will be decent with my 2500k? It's a good clocked 5ghz under water I had on my asrock..

Thanks for the reply

Yea he posted a few threads under that post and found out it was a dead ssd drive.. I don't even have any drives connected to motherboard and still the same.. No signal to screen case fans spinning no beeps and error 69 on the Dr debug screen..

So it can't be the ssd the only things connected to the mobo is case buttons, case fans, cpu and cpu fan, one stick of ram and psu and monitor is connected to onboard as I removed my 970..

Code 69 is "north bridge dxe initilisation"

Here's a few to get you started and should remove all the ? marks from device manager after a fresh install.

Intel INF driver - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/De...rsion=Windows 8, 64-bit*&DownloadType=Drivers

Intel Management Engine driver - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23091

Intel rapid Storage Technology - 16.72MB - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/De...eng&OSVersion=Windows 8*&DownloadType=Drivers

Are these still the best to use?

I've been having some speed issues with my Samsung 840 Pro 256gb, the read speed is fine, but the write speed is awful, with low iops.

When running AS SSD it shows the iaStorA so the drivers seem to be correct
