Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with this lil' problem with an otherwise near-flawless motherboard.

When I install a (any) program, the install wizard will come up, I can complete that. After clicking install though, it feels the need to take anywhere from 20min to 6 hours to start the actual install (with completion % bar).
Once it does decide to start installing it zips through it like any modern gen SSD should, in seconds...

this is bugging me and id like to fix it.

I have updated to BIOS P2.0 and the rest of my stats list like so,

Z77 O/C Formula

3570K (delided) 4.8GHz 24/7 (5.2max) (custom w/c)

32Gb Mushkin Blackline 1866MHz@ 1.35v

2 Asus dcii GTX 670's in SLI (Full cover w/b)

Samsung pro 256Gb SSD (boot drive)

3 other 120 Gb SSD's

Creative Soundblaster-Z

SeaSonic Platinum 860

and a TON of Water cooling stuff....
 
Your motherboard has 6 SATA 3 (6Gb/s) ports.
Make sure your boot drive is connected to one of the Intel 6Gb/s ports (SATA3_0 or SATA3_1). See page 14 of your motherboard manual for the location of the ports.
Also double-check that the Intel 6Gb/s port are in AHCI mode.
