Problems with ASMedia SATA3 drivers on Win7


You’re assuming a lot. Firstly I don’t have CSM disabled, because it doesn’t need to be. Do u know what OS I’m running? It’s not W10…
I’m on W7 and all my devices are in legacy on an MBR boot partition. I actually forgot to mention that part…

CSM is a just a hack so UEFI operating systems can be installed onto a legacy motherboard. It’s a hack… Anyway it’s unrelated to my problems because if you looked at my screenshot u can see both Oproms were there with the HDD’s connected. The issue is not the Oproms the issue is the drivers are borked because they aren’t signed.

I’m not big into coding but Im pretty sure the breakpoint is triggered to prevent them from loading. I was on the beta team for W10, the devs made it clear that after W10 went to rtm any drivers which were not signed will not non sigmed drivers will not load.Any kernel drivers have to be submitted for testing by WHQL. It’s not like W8 anymore u cant mod drivers and then think test signing will help… It won’t.

The drivers have have some sort of certification…Back when I used to spam the Guru3D forums we ran into this situation…that guy who does all the modding over there Wagnard I think it is,
well we discovered the AMD drivers for Tahiti wouldn’t load in 10 after being modded to support VSR. Eventually I got then installed on 7 with the testsigning option and integrity checking disab;ed. That worhed in W10 as well but not after it went RTM somehow Wagnar got hold of someone that could could signm his mods…maybe u could adsk him… I would but Hil]bert and I don’t talk now, lol


If you look on the Asus website it gives a list of all the boards that can run W10. The boards which aren’t compatible are the 32mb EFI (not uefi) versions and any with UEFI spec older than 2.3.1 (I I think that’s the version).

It’s to ensure that both OEMs and MS will have "safety features" of newer UEFI versions available to cripple all their hardware before it’s shipped…
There’s always a way to get around this MS bullshit we just have to find it… I don’t do deployments anymore so I’m kinda outta the loop a bit. W10 is a good OS turned into pigshit though…


Everyone who tested gave feedback on TN concerned about privacy issues and strict control MS had over end users on 10… Most fell on deaf ears,MS did as MS pleased again…just like Vista,
