I recently just got a new ssd (intel 530 120gb) and whenever I try do something in windows it does not respond.

Thanks in advance.

Did you do a re-install? 

Did you change to AHCI mode in BIOS and Windows?

OK, did you change to AHCI mode?

[BenBo1984]

no

Change to AHCI mode in Windows first, follow this guide: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976

 

Then reboot, change to AHCI mode in the BIOS and start windows.

Why did you get 530 ???

 

/rant off

 

Could be a defective drive.Afterall it is a sandforce.

If you can mark the post as solved with an answer it helps other users. Did AHCI setting help?

Would this also be fixed by getting win 8 or would i still have an issue
