Hey, I just recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my SSD. But, Unfortunately I have been through some problems and errors that have been puzzling me. http://i.imgur.com/JCFIuZX.png

Other than that, my Internet Connection is noticeable slower than before (especially on websites like twitch.tv etc.)

Please refrain from double posting. The first one would have sufficed.

MOBO - Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0   CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.5GHz - Corsair H80i   RAM - 2x Corsair Vengence 4GB DDR3 @ 1666 MHz

Before you loaded the SSD with windows, did you put it into AHCI, although not doing that probably wouldn't cause the problems.

I think by default, windows tries to auto defrag your SSD, so disable that.

 

You might have to:

Install latest drivers for motherboard

I think from memory you may need to update the SSD firmware.

It was working just fine before the format, so I think it's something else and not that.

hmm... maybe windows is just being stupid?

I've heard of something like this before where things don't work properly after a fresh install, but then after re-doing it, it starts working again.

 

EDIT: to properly format, you need to shove the SSD into another computer and it will pop up as a regular drive, from there you just right click, format. (re-installing the os doesn't fully format it I don't think)
