[MLage2]

Hi,

Just now my pc started crashing without obvious reason. I ran the IPD tool, it said;

Platform Controller Hub Test Failed. Error while retrieving SATA Device Information from OS.

Edit:

I just ran a CPU and Graphics Stress Test, since the problem started while watching youtube (the crashing), no problems while running the stress tests.

Tried gaming, no problems either.

The error from the IPD stays however; Platform Controller Hub Test Failed. Error while retrieving SATA Device Information from OS

For information;

Z87-GD65 gaming mobo

Intel I7-4770K (not OC'd)

8g (2x4) HyperX Beast (running at 1600mhz)

Win 8.1 (BIOS set on win 8 mode)

2 old hdd's and 1 Samsung SSD EVO 120G

Re-edit;

Just performed a clean install to rule out any software/ driver issues. The error stays. The crashing so far only happens with youtube.

Re-re-edit;

Tried contacting customer support by phone and chat, neither worked. Already send a ticket...

Please wait for a site operator to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Vamsi'

Vamsi: Hello. Thank you for using the Intel Customer Chat Support service. We are glad to be of service. How may I help you?

martin: Hello

Vamsi: Hello martin.

Vamsi: How may I help you today?

Vamsi: I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I will certainly be able to help you resolve this issue.

martin: that whould be great!

martin: For extra info, i tried running a stress test on both cpu and graphics, both went fine. The crashing usually happens with youtube, no bleu screen just a freeze and the audio going berserk. And while thinking about it last night, last few weeks the mouse (usb connected) "unplugged" itself a couple of time, if i removed it and re inserted it, it would work once again.

martin: I reinstalled all drivers, that didn't work, performed a clean install wich also didn't resolve the problem.

Vamsi: Not to worry.

Vamsi: Please stay online for 3-4 minutes, while I check the details for you.

Vamsi:

martin: without crashing, no prob

Vamsi: Thank you for being online.

Vamsi: To check the compatibility and resolve the issue, I would require the details mentioned below:

Vamsi: - Motherboard model number.

Vamsi: - RAM frequency, Brand and capacity.

Vamsi: - PSU brand and capacity.

Vamsi: - Operating system.

martin: MSI Z87-GD65 gaming (MS-7845)

martin: Kingston HyperX Beast, 1600mhz, 2x4 gb

martin: Windows 8 (not yet updated to windows 8.1 because of the clean install)

Vamsi: May I know are using any Graphic card?

martin: No, just the HD-4600

martin: seasonic G-series 550 watt

Vamsi: Thank you for information.

I understood you have tried different Intel® HD Graphics drivers; so, this is what I would try:

• Use a different browser and update Adobe* Flash player.
• Reset BIOS to default settings (but remember to set SATA controller mode as it was before reset operation).
• Connect the operating system drive (SSD I guess) to the Intel® Z87 Chipset and reinstall the operating system once connected there. This may be related to the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool error.
• As the processor seems to be OK I would contact the motherboard manufacturer for further assistance.
