asmedia 106x sata controller driver bsod

The chipset is the Asmedia 1061 SATA Host Controller.

I've confirmed that I have the most recent 64-bit Win 10 ASMedia driver installed, and both DriverMax nor Tweakbit Driver Updater reports all my drivers are up to date. This only happens when I have drives inserted into the enclosure in eSATA mode. The BSOD occured after I used a program called driver hub to update my drivers. Then it continues through the Metro boot loader where I choose my OS, but usually within a minute or two after I see the desktop I see the BSOD in question. So since I needed the disk swap ability, I bought this eSATA card, which seems to work fine, by which I mean that all the right messages appear during the BIOS pre-boot stage along with the correct disk drive names.īut whenever I boot up (into 64-bit Windows ), after a while I see the spinning dots stop cold for about 8-10 seconds (which it never does otherwise). BTW, the USB 3 mode works fine with all my disks. basically device manager shows 2 ASmedia 106x sata controller drivers when I deleted one it was fine I scanned for hardware changes and it installed the ms one then tried to uninstall the second one it asked me to restart then bang blue screen 0x0000007b upon trying to restart. I'm not excusing that, but it's been a constant for the last two decades.

Driver updates from motherboard manufacturers have always lagged behind and shouldn't surprise anyone. I have a Mediasonic four-port disk enclosure that only allows hot-swapping disks in eSATA mode (it also supports USB 3, but without the swapping feature). The ASMedia controller is AHCI only and therefore costs less and ultimately makes more sense.
