    I recently buyed a Asus laptop X553SA, with Windows10 Home pre-installed.

    So because of the downside this OS has (telemetry... ). I wanted to install Win7-x64 Pro.

    I did some changes into the BIOS settings, like disable "Secure boot", I also format the harddrive, from GPT to MBR.

    So reinstalling Windows10 is not a problem, but when I try to install Windows7 x64 Pro i get a BSOD, at the beginning of the installation setup. Some error code 0x00000007.
    The BIOS is the most recently there's available for this model.

    Anyone has some suggestion? Probably is this a driver issue.

    Try to disable AHCI and RAID mode in your bios (set to ATA mode), you could re-enable AHCI after installlation.

    You should also enable the Launch CSM after you disable the secure boot control.

    DVD or USB for installation ?? If You're using a USB, You do have it plugged in the USB2 Port and Not the USB3 Port ??

    I tried to change this feature, but for some reason is this not possible to change it to another setting.

    @dre022392
    This CSM, I already did enable it.

    @Bat.1
    I didn't use the USB 3.0 port.

    Thanks for all your reply, but I've contacted the supportcenter of Asus. I hope they have a solution for this problem...

    And what's with the Telemetry in Windows 7?

    For me, no difference! and I work with confidential data of my customers and my own company! Couldn't give the blame to MS (and any other company/Developer of OS/Software) if I'm not able to handle my data in a secure way!

    Thanks for this information, guys...

    I tried to DL these AHCI drivers from mega.nz but I get a warning, that this site uses a non valid security certificate. Any reason why I can't access this filesharing server?

    @Camino: ignore the warning and you're good to go. Never had problems downloading from mega.nz

    Thx for the extra link, so I can DL these AHCI drivers. So... next step, is slipstreaming it with toolkit and I hope I won't get this BSOD anymore.
