I installed some drivers through an automated driver finder software a week ago and it installed some AHCI drivers from intel, but without an interface, just the drivers.
After that my HDD keeps shutting off if I’m not using it, causing an unnecessary noise every time it spins up. I tried installing the drivers again manually to have an interface and to disable LPM but that didn’t do anything at all, even if I select Disabled or Enabled it just won’t disable it.
I tried reinstalling Windows 10 again and no matter what I do, I can’t seem to turn off LPM…
Any advice?
I’m using a Z97 motherboard and my HDD is a SAMSUNG HD103SJ
I guess you’re referring to Aggressive Link Power Managment. There should be an option for ALPM in your motherboard BIOS. At least my MB has it.
Use the Power Options and edit the power plan. You don’t need the HIPM field that you see in the image, ignore that part.
