Taichi Z390 Third Party Sata Causes Freeze

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

I've the same problem (as my fellow sufferer before) with the third party SATA Controller( ASMedia ASM1061 ) [SATA3_A1 + A2]. I can use the ports with DVD/BD-Recorders and they work, but unexpectedly the PC freezes. If I disable the third party controller, until now no freezes. I rarely use the CD/DVD/BD drives, but I think it can not be that I can not use this in parallel.

I could not find a driver on the original CD and not on the ASRock website // support // download site. Maybe the missing specialised driver is the problem?!? (currently Windows Default driver is used)

Are there any solutions? Or is my motherboard broken and I have to send it back?

My Configuration:
========================

Mainboard:
ASRock Taichi Z390

BIOS:
4.00 (original devliered)

CPU:
Intel Core i9 9900K (with Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler)

RAM:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB Kit DDR4-3000 CL15 (CMK64GX4M2C3000C15)
{in Slot A2 + B2 according to manual}

M.2_1: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB {with heat sink}
M.2_2: Samsung 970 Pro 1TB [BOOT] {with heat sink}
M.2_3: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB {with heat sink}

SATA3_0: ---
SATA3_1: ---
SATA3_2: Seagate Exos 6TB (#1) {RAID 1} 
SATA3_3: Seagate Exos 6TB (#2) {RAID 1} 
SATA3_4: ---
SATA3_5: ---

Third party SATA Controller ASMedia ASM1061
SATA3_A1: DVD Recorder (LG)
SATA3_A2: BD Recorder (LG)

Graphics:
PCIe Port 2 (x16): Sapphire AMD RX580 4G

I'll try to do a BIOS update to 4.20 (latest); if this improves the situation (no more freezes) and then report here from my experience.

	Hi! I have the Taichi Z390 motherboard. I use all SATA ports, and I have noticed recently that my computer freezes at random points - i.e. during installations, gaming, log on, etc. There's no BSOD, the computer just freeze and I have to hard boot. I just tested to disable third party sata in BIOS, and the problem was instalty removed. I am on BIOS 1.90. Is there a BIOS/driver fix for this? What is your suggestion? And furthermore, which of the SATA ports are Third Party Sata? I can't find that specified in the manual, only that two of them are Asmedia ports. Thank you!
