I've built my first pc 1 week ago but today I saw that the ssd is running at half speed.. So I checked and it seemed that I've connected the ssd to SATA 3GB/s (don't judge me first build :D ) so I changed it to 6GB/s but now the boot time takes 5+ minutes (before it took seconds to boot.) I'm using Samsung EVO 840 120GB and ASROCK z87 Extreme 4 and everything seems normal with the ssd

btw - z87 does not have any sata2 ports. I think you connected it to asmedia.
<grin>
Double check and make sure its on intel.

Everything is ok now :) The problem was that the motherboard detected the ssd as hdd and I needed to change it back to solid state drive. I don't know how that happened but my speed is now even better than before. ( I see the Windows 8 logo for 1 sec :D ) Thank you all for the answers

Yes the ssd and hhd were connected to the intel ports, but the problem seems to be in the dvd drive which was connected to asmedia and it was not even detected after i changed it to intel BANG everything runs smooth as a shotgun :D Thank you all for your answers !!!
