Hi, I recently installed a Crucial BX100 500gb SSD and cloned the files from my hard drive onto it. Everything was cloned perfectly. I restart my computer, and log in my account. When I get to my desktop, my screen starts flickering/flashing. After looking around on forums, with no solution, I eventually just unplugged my SSD. I reboot my computer off of my HDD, and everything works perfectly. I then plug my SSD into my computer while it's on and it recognizes it and everything works. I check to see if there's something missing from the SSD but it's the exact same as the HDD. So I decided to try to unplug my HDD and boot off of my SSD. When I do this, everything boots but right before I get to my login screen, my screen turns black and a white cursor appears and there's nothing I can do after that. Do I have a faulty SSD, or did I do something wrong?

You cloned everything perfectly , right ? This shows there aren't problem in your motherboard and SSD . But I think you've got a faulty SSD .
