The reflash reset all motherboard settings to default, so after some investigation I noticed that the Peripherals, SATA mode selection was set to IDE rather than AHCI, the latter being required by Windows 10 (and also used by my Windows 7 installation previously). Changing this allowed the system to safely reboot, only needing a slight repair fix by windows which took only a few seconds. All was then well. I had also tried to set the OS type to &#8220;Win 8&#8221; rather than the default of &#8220;Other&#8221;, but this was in fact a red herring &#8211; not sure what this setting does exactly (claims to allow certain Windows 8 features but does not elaborate), so in the end I just left the setting at &#8220;Other&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This fixed the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had some issues when upgrading to windows 10 &#8211; when sleeping\/waking I sometimes got a blue screen error which forced an immediate reboot.
