    Excuse me, the 1GB HDD wasn't connected when I installed the OS on the SSD. Doh!

    No other accounts. I've only enabled the normally hidden "administrator" account in the past couple of days hoping it would allow me to do some work my normal user account (which is an admin acct) wouldn't.

    Entire OS is on the SSD, which wasn't connected when I installed the OS - best I can remember.

    Thank You Guys!!!
    Where did the OS go? I failed to mention only the SSD should be attached when the OS is installed.

    Sorry Britton,
    I caught my typo @ #11 above - The entire OS was installed on the SSD without the HDD connected to the system. All updates were done before any other software was loaded.

    Please run an MGADiag report - I have seen this type of issue caused by driver problems, and the report will show if that's the case....

    we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
    (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response (inside a code box, please!).

    Also, is the firmware on your Vertex 3 up to date? Also, download AS SSD and open it and select your SSD and post a screenshot of it. You do not have to run the test unless you want to.

    Just like to mention. While these good people are helping you to install Windows 7 and it's updates only have the SSD plugged in. Don't plug anything back until they request. All updates should be on the same drive and or partition the the operating system is on. Installing a few updates and rebooting whether ask to or not does help. Happy computing.

    Where did you get Win7? How is it burned to DVD or written to flash stick? How is it activated?

    Did you hew pretty closely to the Best Practices for install given in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which are the same for retail? Note that drivers are handled differently in Win7 than XP which mishandling could cause chronic problems.

    If you have a perfect install then I would go over my build closely, replacing cables and checking all connections. Is there a newer BIOS version update? The one in June adds CPU code which might be related. Strip it down to mobo/CPU, RAM and HD. Try one RAM stick, then try swapping them, swapping slots.
