AMD_SATA.SYS is your culprit my friend

Update your AMD Advanced Host Controller Interface driver (amdsata.sys)

you can get this from AMD's website
hope it works

I installed the driver and not getting BSODs anymore....now i'm getting blackscreen shutdowns. The screen will turn black, with no backlight, but the power button remains lit. Only way to shut it down is to hold the power button down and then restart it. But now when i select the option on the start menu to Restart, the laptop shuts down, but never reboots. So i have no idea what to do now. Any suggestions?

ifu just have windows installed

boot in safe mode with command promt

run these commands

chkdsk /f /r

sfc /scannow

then boot from your origonal windows disk and select repair

then go to advanced options

type

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
