I built a computer using an MSI Z97-G45 Gaming LGA 1150 mobo, an intel i7 4790k, 1 terabyte western digital harddrive and installed windows 8.1 on it. A week later, I used EaseUS Todo Backup Free to copy the HDD onto an MX100 250gb crucial SSD for increased speed and placed the HDD as the D Drive after formatting it. Everything went well I think. About a week after I began to notice that when opening My Computer, the window would just appear blank and the green loading bar slowly dragged across the address part of the window. Anytime I copy to or from or otherwise access the SSD C: drive it takes forever. I am not sure of what can be wrong. Couple of things:
1. the connections on the computer inside are secure.
2. I did not use acronis to do backup and it is not installed on my system
3. I am using the latest driver MU02
4. My mobo is using AHCI. I was considering switching it to IDE but my computer won’t boot with it on even with secureboot enabled. I have not tried booting into safemode with this setting change yet
5. I have not yet tried a clean boot to see if there is some driver causing the problem
The computer is at my work place and will try 5 and then 4 when I get back. Can anyone think of anything else that could be causing this problem? Is switching to IDE likely to solve the problem? This is frustrating!
