asahci32.sys Bluescreen

Thread needs solution

I am having issues doing a restore on a machine with Raid1 with Windows 7 Pro, SP1. I have made an image from a fresh install on one computer and when trying to restore that image to a second, exact hardware, I get a bluescreen within seconds after Windows desktop shows up stating that it is asahci32.sys that is causing the problem.

The motherboard in question is an Asrock H87WS-DL and the raid is the built in software raid. I have tried multiple ways of making the image with before or after certain drivers are installed and so on and restoring the image with universal restore pointing to the MB driver disk, to specific folders/files and all the same result. I've even tried a completely separate computer with the exact same hardware thinking perhaps a hardware issue but that resulted in the exact same results.

I've searched this forum and others in hopes of finding something but it seems I'm by myself when it comes to asahci32.sys bluescreens. Any advice whatsoever would be appreciated and if I need to supply any more information please let me know.

Thanks in advance to any sort of help whatsoever.

Greetings,
The ASMEDIA 1061 is a hardware based controller:

Questions / comments

Are both of the systems running the same BIOS revision?
Are both systems running the same brand drives? (Exactly the same, have to ask even though you said so)
Have you tested the second set for errors?
Your memory in sys2 should be tested as well, but I'd hold off until later
If you move the disks from system 1 to 2 can you boot successfully?
Have you tried using an earlier or later version of the controller driver for testing? 1.3.1.0 or 1.3.4.0

Can you clarify for me please. Are you using the secondary controller to boot from? The controller only has one PCI lane which means your disks are splitting the bandwidth. If 6 you get 3, if 3 you only get 1.5. This is a undocumented "feature" MB manufacturers conveniently fail to mention. You don't want to use the secondary controller to boot period. You won't run into this using the H87 for a boot array. I'll wait to hear back from you.

You might have some success reverting to the default msachi.sys (Microsoft) drivers as most controllers will work with default Windows drivers.
