Hi guys i need help its driving me mad.
I bought a brand new samsung 860 evo 250gb for my Acer Aspire xc-605 desktop. I have cloned the storage from my original hdd c drive to the new SSD using EASEUS. After cloning i restarted the computer, and gone to the bios but i dont see the new ssd shown under hard drive boot priority, but only under SATA Ports. My onboard sata mode is AHCI and my secure boot has been changed to disabled. I swapped the cables and the new sdd to be in sata port 1 only and tried to boot up and it ended in a black screen. Helps, i am on my wits end and i feel like dumping the whole computer into the bin, the only reason why i changed to a SSD is because my HDD is at a crawl, it is so slow it is unbelievable. Even right click makes the screen freeze a little. While switching the ports i encountered a RAM error beeping sound and i removed the one of the 8gb Ram and it was solved. Now after switching on and off it is on automatic repair, it is going to take 2-3hrs. And the usual start up takes 2 to 3 hrs too. Prior to this huge slowing down it was okay, did the windows update, got the black screen with cursor, restored it to an earlier date i managed to get to windows, but every start up takes 2 to 3 hrs. I spent the whole weekend on this to no avail. I’m on the brim of throwing this whole computer into the bin right now!!!
Original specs:
I7 4790 3.6ghz
16gb ddr3 ram
Geforce gt710
1tb hdd
