    Hey guys, can anyone tell me how to get rid of the screen at boot?
    IMG_20140830_140216.jpg

    I got a bit carried away with oc'in a i7-4710mq in my P150SM-A, cmos reset nor bios recover (fn - b) would allow the system to boot but finally moving the ram to another slot got it to boot.

    Now however, it does the 'double boot' showing this screen after post on the first cycle. I can't find anything in the prema bios that relates to it.

    turning uefi back on doesn't allow win 8.1 to boot anymore. Does it have to be on before I installed windows? Would explain what why i thought the OS had broke after the meltdown, so I formatted again.

    Yes it does, putting info like that in the op helps confirm it further. Non uefi booting displays all bios splash screens. In this case the Intel raid controller which will always display in raid mode on the classic boot system. Unlocked bios files let you edit how long it displays for.

    If I thought it was relevant information I would I put it in the op to begin with, sorry about that. I haven't had anything to do with uefi till this build so still trying to get my head around that.

    It can be confusing, for now it seems like the whole AHCI vs SATA mode issue again.
