BSOD when booting in AHCI

Any idea?

Assuming its driver related. Downloaded my driver from Asus site, but its just a .sys file, which i have no idea what to do with.

Is it your boot disc was it installed at windows setup?
If not there's a workaround.
Google it

You either need to copy the files to a USB stick and run the setup again or there is a workaround. Am on phone so not the easiest to get you links
