I'm using a samsung 120GB SSD, booting windows 7 ultimate. It used to take around 15 seconds to boot but now I'm having issues. When I boot the MB screen comes up, then the windows loading screen appears. After a couple seconds of the windows loading screen appearing the screen goes dark. First it just stops displaying, then after a few seconds the backlight and all the pixels turn off. This will last anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes. After that the windows home screen appears just like normal. I've tried a couple different displays and the windows sound arrives after the display turns back on so I know that it's a booting issue. I also have programs on the SSD that still work fine, the only thing being inhibited is the boot time. Sometimes, but this is rarer: after the screen goes dark, the display will turn back on with the mouse in the center of a black screen. I can't move the mouse, everything is frozen, I have to restart the computer. If anyone else has this issue, or knows what's going on, any help will be greatly appreciated.
