Well 3 weeks later my GA-Z87M-D3H socket 1150 returns so paired with my Gen 4 i-5 4670 Cpu back in business. I booted to old Ssd which I thought had Intel OS on it but it was the changed Amd Fm2 system so this time a quick empty of Device Manager and a reboot and all is well. This time it worked probably because it had been Intel in the first place. I then cloned the Ssd to a 500 gb Wd drive and I have a rather new used pc for sale as I am done with Intel for me. I love my Amd build!
I also came back after a sale to a regular client with a 6 year old socket 775 board with an 8400 Core 2 Duo cpu and a dead hard drive. Too old to sell as used I decided to replace the hard drive double the ram and install Windows Vista which frees up a Win 7 retail code and gives me back a bench machine which I haven't had for a while because this board has something I need badly and that is an ide port as still occasionally need to read an ide hard drive and that is hit or miss with a usb adapter.
