Hi All, the following is my gaming rig configuration:

CPU - Intel Core i5-2500k 3.3GHz
Mobo - Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212
GPU - ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 550Ti 1 GB GDDR5
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA III 6.0GBps 7200RPM
SSD - Corsair Force 3 Series 60GB SATAIII 6.0GBps
RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB (2X4GB) 1600MHz
PSU - Corsair CX-500
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Bought the system on August'12, at first everything was running smooth; loaded OS on SSD and now only 9GB is left.

Recently, after first boot, the Window screen gets freezed; I have to do CTRL+ALT+DEL to Log-off and log back-in to make it work. This happens even if I restart the system. This problem is bugging me a lot.

Please give me a solution to it !!

From everything I have read you should keep at least 20% of the SSD space free for optimal performance (with a 60GB drive that would be 12GB). Is there anything you can uninstall on the SSD to free up some space? I'm not sure that is the issue but it may be worth a shot. If you have the funds you might want to consider investing in a larger SSD (at least 120 - 128 GB).

You can also try something like CCleaner ( http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner ) to clean up the drive and free up some space.

@kenrivers....I got myself a Samsung EVO 250GB SSD and migrated the OS (Windows Home Premium SP1) using Samsung OS Migration tool. Still facing the same issue, computer goes into hung state at start-up/initialization. Log-off and then log-in resolves this issue. Recently, "Intel Service manager has crashed" error pop-up is coming along.

Have you tried using msconfig to disable the service (Intel Service Manager) from startup to see if that helps? If you don't want to stop or uninstall it you could check to see if you have the latest version installed. If not, maybe a download of the newest version will solve the problem.
