Hello,
I have recently had my hard drive crash, so I updated to the samsung 860 evo 500gb SSD, but now I am having issues even getting my computer to boot. At first, I couldn't even install windows 10 onto it, because my computer would freeze, so I put the SSD into my other computer and installed Win10. Once installed, I threw it back in my "problem" laptop, and it doesn't boot. It gets to the windows logo with the spinning wheel, and freezes. I can boot into windows if I run it in safemode, but not normal mode.
Yes, I have AHCI set for SATA settings in BIOS. But in the Samsung Magician program, it says that AHCI is disabled? Also Samsung Magician says that there are no compatibility issues.
