If you installed W7 in AHCI mode, be sure the BIOS setting is back on AHCI mode. You don't need 2 problems to deal with.
A couple of other things to try:
- Borrow and use a wired keyboard and mouse to test.
- Go into the BIOS settings and see if you can run the graphics in standard VGA mode - this disables the normal graphics drivers.
- Disable the Sound and LAN devices in BIOS and test.
The possibility that the SSD is faulty is great. Read this post to see one way to test the SSD without the OS: https://www.sevenforums.com/1001830-post119.html
