nForce SATA update BSOD

[Guest Carlos]

In spite of having rejected the Serial ATA optional update for NForce

chipsets offered by Windows Update, "it" silently decided that it was

imperative and installed by itself at around 2:00 am while I was peacefully

sleeping.

Woke up at 7:00, went to check my e-mail but the only thing I could see was

a BSOD with crash dump and etc.

Powered off, rebooted, and Vista x64 would freeze when assemlbing the desktop.

Mouse activity, yes. Response: none

Root cause: nForce Serial ATA installed.

Rebooted, F8, Last Known Good Configuration and everything was back to normal.

Serial ATa controller was back to the one released by NVidia during February

(version 15.00,
