This will last for long periods, but will eventually end, only to happen again after an indeterminant time.

The effect of these continuous resets is that my disk activity light stays on continuously and it will take FOREVER to get my computer to shutdown or restart.

This is especially frustrating when trying to do an update, which usually requires a reboot.

I checked on some of the Windows support forums, and the only solution I found was to replace the AMDSATA driver with the generic one that comes from Microsoft.

That will return my PC to good operation, but the next time an update occurs, the SATA driver gets reset to the AMDSATA driver and Im in trouble again.

Ive attached a screen print of my Device Manager entry from the AMD SATA controller, showing it using the AMD driver v1.3.001.0276 which has passed Microsofts hardware compatibility tests.

Is there a later version of this SATA driver for the AMD SATA controller that I could try installing.

If you continue to use the wrong Sata driver, you can expect your system to misbehave.

I couldnt tell from my Internet searches if a rollback DELETED the previous driver or just made the substitution and left the previous driver files in place.

Taking no chances, I figured out that the INF file was OEM68.INF, so I moved that file and the OEM68.PNF files to another folder.

Additionally, I renamed the asmsata.sys and amdxata.sys files in the System32drivers folder so that Windows would not have the INF or SYS files to re-install when I next do an update.

I cant determine if the most recent such app (since uninstalled) was the one that put this AMD driver on my PC, but it is a likely culprit.

Unless your PC is actually misbehaving with its current drivers, you should not be so quick to update your drivers with newer versions.

With a clean install using installation media using the latest official build of Windows then you should expect the Microsoft inthebox driver to be used be default.
