Hi all,
I'm having trouble with a new intel 530 240 GB SSD. I recently installed the hard drive into my laptop and have done a completely fresh install of windows 7 home premium. Everything works well except for the fact that approximately every two minutes, the LED indicator for the HD will go steady for about 30 seconds - one minute and no data transfer will occur. I can move the mouse and access some basic program functionality, but anything that requires HD use is frozen until the LED indicator begins blinking again. The intel SSD toolbox reports a healthy drive and my bios/drivers are up to date from the manufacturer. All windows updates have been installed. If I try to disable AHCI as has been recommended for other hard drives, windows gives me the BSOD on startup and goes straight to startup recovery (which reports no errors). Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
