The power management SW behaves very strangely and does not seem to do anything useful.

The installer formatted the disk as GPT disk and createdģ partitions (a 100MB boot partition w/ FAT32, a 300MB recovery tools partition and the C: partition).Īfter the OS installation completed I installed the W8 beta drivers from the Lenovo site. During installation I used the advanced option and deleted all partitions from the SSD. Had to use a DVD for installation as the machine did boot from an USB stick only in BIOS mode and I wanted UEFI mode.
#LENOVO H520 STORAHCI ERROR WINDOWS 8.1 PAUSING DRIVER#
I upgraded the BIOS to the latest regular version (1.38) not the one on the beta driver page (1.37a). I have set the SATA controller to "AHCI", the graphics device to "NVIDIA Optimus" and the boot mode to "UEFI only". I have installed W8 圆4 Enterprise ENG w/o problems on my W520 (4284) with 16GB RAM and an Intel SSD 320. Where do I go from here? Should I just accept that this and possibly other high-end laptops like it won't run the newest OS? Has anyone actually gotten W8 to run on this hardware config? (After over 30 years of alpha and beta testing I would consider the current code to be a late alpha or early beta based on my experience)ģ. How close is the 8/15 download the 'to be released' OS?Ģ.
But in both cases, the CPU fan runs wide open.ġ.
The other half of the time I get the slanted blue window but nothing else. Once I get here about half of the time I have a blank screen. In about 1 out of ten tries it will actually finish theĬd and restart. Sometimes I get up to 3 dots before it freezes.

Sometimes, it freezes immediately during the start of install with a slanted blue windows logo and a single dot at the bottom of the screen. I have tried loading from DVD and USB, I have tried with no other drives in laptop, I have tried all SATA options in bios and all video options in bios. I have tried different versions of the OS (regular and enterprise both dated 8-15) I have tried all of the different video settings in the bios, I have updated the system bios, and generally tried everything I can come up with to no avail. I can not get past the first reboot during the install. I have a Lenovo W520 i7 12G Ram laptop with a new blank OCZ vertex 4 drive. I have searched this and several other forums for answers to my problem.
