Drive Controller Bad?
Working on a Toshiba Satellite P775 that got an error on boot causing it to run the system repair which failed. It was left alone for a little while and then booted fine but was extremely slow (20 min to open a window once logged in). Did some troubleshooting and thought it was corrupt file on the hard drive so I replaced the hard drive with a Samsung SSD 840EVO. Installed windows and all was going well. Rebooted after installing a few drivers and I got the system repair again but it booted anyways and all the drivers I had installed were gone. I reinstalled the drivers and rebooted and it went into an infinite system repair loop. I have no idea what else to do to determine what the cause is. I suspect the drive controller is bad but I am not sure how or if there is a way to test it. I am currently reinstalling windows and it seems to be working for now but it is not done installing yet.
