Hello everyone, I have done some digging through most threads here. I would like to update my Marvell controller to the latest compatible version on my board. I am fully up to date on my drivers (Win 10) but I am getting the odd BSOD. I am not overclocking, everything is stock. RAM passes Memtest86.
I have a 500GB SSD and a 4TB drive on the controller (AHCI mode, no RAID). I think the controller is the issue.
The current BIOS version of the controller is 1.0.0.1019
From what I have read I need to download the Marvell Flash Utility and make a DOS USB boot disk with Rufus. I also understand that the motherboard BIOS is separate from the controller BIOS.
I have also heard there are 3 different files I need. Bootloader, Firmware, BIOS ROM.
These threads are a bit convoluted. Does anyone have a guide or that could assist on where the download the flash utility and where I could download the appropriate file?
The controller chipset is 9128 (on the board), but device manager devID is reporting 9123 (which from what I read the number changes depending if the HD is IDE,AHCI,orRAID).
The motherboard is legacy, non-UEFI. So, to my knowledge, I can’t use the UBM tool?
Threads I am reading:
> win-raid DOT com/t200f13-Discussion-Marvell-xx-xx-SATA-Controller-BIOS-modules.html
> win-raid DOT com/t7f13-AHCI-amp-RAID-ROM-Modules.html
Reading win-raid DOT com/t7f13-AHCI-amp-RAID-ROM-Modules.html under the Marvell section, I am unclear if I should download the 9128 ROM (The actual controller number). And if I should be downloading the 3 separate files (bootloader, firmware, ROM) or just the ROM (contains all 3??).
