Reboots at Windows logo and goes to Startup Repair with new SSD

I will try that. Do you mean the Startup Repair that shows by itself or the one via the Windows disc or maybe they're the same thing?

I believe they lead you to the same place, but you'll want to have your disc handy anyway for the process. This way, if the system is just repaired to boot all the time, you won't need to do a clean install or anything like that. It might save you some time...and then you can always revert to the clean install if this doesn't help.

I've been evaluating the problem for some weeks now. At first I thought the repair only showed when my external drive was powered on during boot, but no. It's still happening, I just did a start repair, but the thing only shows about once a week and I boot my computer at least one time per day. That's strange, that it's so irregular.

I haven't tried pulling out the cables to the other drives and only having the SSD in because of it happening so seldom. Can I really pull out the other drives during the repair?

On the SSD did you update the firmware ?

Unplug the two 1TB drives so only the SSD is plugged in and restart the Startup Repair . If you get an error message can you copy and paste the entire message ( text from the top to bottom )

Yes, I did update the firmware using Samsung Magician 4.0. I will try unplugging tomorrow, just the power cables, right?
