Hello,
I purchased a new Intel 520 series 120 GB SSD for my second pc with a Asus Striker II Extreme motherboard but from the very start it has been incredibly slow and odd.
It can randomly freeze on the Windows splash screen or hang there for 5 minutes before it goes to the password screen, it also has a habit of permanently freezing there. In the slightest chance that I do get to log in it will freeze for 30 seconds constantly when trying to open applications.
I've tried three attempts at using the data migration tool you get to transfer data from a HDD (Which still works fine) to your SSD. Aswelll as two fresh Windows 7 installs but none of it really changed a thing.
I've also tried the obvious things like changing SATA cable etc.
I'm kinda getting the feeling the SSD was just malfunctioning before I even got it, but I'm really not that good at hardware.
Help would be much appreciated!
