Since Windows (stock) can't run off USB it will BSOD. Nothing is wrong here.
Just set your bios to not boot from USB.

And i have/or might not have a problem. But i'm not sure.
My Motherboard is Gigabyte Z87-D3HP and the question is related to that. If required. Processor - Core i5 4440, RAM - HyperX 8 GB.
I had Windows 7 previously and got Windows 8.1 PRO in the new machine. So, for restoring the files, i used the internal HDD of my Laptop as an Ext drive and it worked fine. Obviously, it had Win 7 OS files in it too.
The problem occurred when one day i started my PC when this HDD was still connected via USB. This normally SHOULDN't happen but my PC was suddenly starting Windows 7 !!
And then it showed a BSOD and i frantically turned the power off hoping that not much damage would have been done. I restarted my PC and it entered Safe Mode. It worked fine. Then i restarted, but before complete starting, i saw a page showing - - -
"Gigabyte UEFI Dual BIOS" and there was a box saying, "The primary BIOS has been corrupted" and it's being updated via the backup BIOS. Then after 100& completion of the process the pc restarted and i have since used it just fine without any issues.
But, im concerned if the Primary BIOS is completely gone! If that is the case then i'm running the backup.
How can i fix this. I'm not sure if the primary was fixed automatically in the first place. PLease help.
Thanks in advance!! ![]()
