Hi, i recently made this new build and I have a 2TB drive with a 128GB SSD cache. I install windows and install all the mobo and graphics drivers etc. I attempt to use gigabyte EZ smart response wizard to configure my cache, however it never works, and when my pc restarts it posts then has the flashing horizontal line then restarts. It just repeats this over and over again. Why is the happening? and why is Intel SRT not working (when i try and load the rapid storage tech program it gives an error) to get my pc working again i need to reinstall windows. (i have tried clearing the CMOS)

System specs below

CPU: 4670K (stock)
H100i cooler
GPU: Asus GTX 770 (stock)
Mobo: Gigabyte ga-z87x-oc
PSU: OCZ ZT 750
HDD: Seagate ST2000D001
SSD: Samsung 840 pro
RAM: corsair vengeance 2x4GB

I don't want to do that because then i need to worry about more than one drive. I'm trying to keep it simple in the future so that the program caches my recently used files. I would only install everything on the SSD if i had a 256GB or greater SSD but my budget doesn't afford that.

So could I get help with my dilemma please :)
