very slow program installs

[badtaylorx]

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with this lil' problem with an otherwise near-flawless motherboard.

When I install a (any) program, the install wizard will come up, I can complete that. After clicking install though, it feels the need to take anywhere from 20min to 6 hours to start the actual install (with completion % bar).
Once it does decide to start installing it zips through it like any modern gen SSD should, in seconds...

this is bugging me and id like to fix it.

I have updated to BIOS P2.0 and the rest of my stats list like so,

Z77 O/C Formula

3570K (delided) 4.8GHz 24/7 (5.2max) (custom w/c)

32Gb Mushkin Blackline 1866MHz@ 1.35v

2 Asus dcii GTX 670's in SLI (Full cover w/b)

Samsung pro 256Gb SSD (boot drive)

3 other 120 Gb SSD's

Creative Soundblaster-Z

SeaSonic Platinum 860

and a TON of Water cooling stuff....

Your motherboard has 6 SATA 3 (6Gb/s) ports.
Make sure your boot drive is connected to one of the Intel 6Gb/s ports (SATA3_0 or SATA3_1). See page 14 of your motherboard manual for the location of the ports.
Also double-check that the Intel 6Gb/s port are in AHCI mode.

When is the last time you booted up the pc and let it sit at the login screen for several hours so that trim and garbage collection can do there thing (which is free up previously written to blocks which improves write speeds)
