Okay having tons of problems with Windows 8. All the sudden when I boot up my desktop has no icons, my cursor isn't available, and CTRL + ALT + DEL results in a black screen. System restore from recovery didn't work. Thinking this was a curse and probably just going back to Windows 7.

Everything is good. Yes I have the latest non-beta firmware of my BIOS and latest SSD firmware. Not quite sure how I feel about Windows 8 yet. Under the hood it's supposed to be better. I got Pokki to bypass metro and give me a start menu and it's okay. Not sure at all why they got rid of...

64 bit installed and working fine so far. Fingers crossed.

Okay so I was able to boot to my flash drive into Windows 8 setup with all my drives unplugged, hot-plug in the M4 and have setup detect it. From there, I deleted my old partition, formatted a new one, and installed the SATA2 pre-install drivers. Then, it wouldn't let me make a new partition it...

It only hangs when the M4 is plugged into the SATA2 (non-jmicron) port when in AHCI mode. Was able to get past that screen when the drive is unplugged. Next step is to plug it in after booting into Windows 8 install and install the SATA2 pre-install driver first.

That guy seemed to have a very different issue, how come it's so important to contact him? Even if there is barely a performance difference it's going to drive me crazy knowing it's not in the most optimal setting. I need to get this working or I will go insane.

Looks like a very similar problem indeed, but the weird difference is what you pointed out, that his is Windows 7 and my Windows 7 worked fine. I haven't been able to update the SSD firmware. It always freezes when I try and update, but the guy in the thread you linked said updating the SSD...

Pretty sure I do have the latest. Even if I don't, the one I upgraded to so I could use AHCI on my SSD with Windows 7 worked great. And my other HD and ODD were working fine with Windows 7 on AHCI.

It posts (I see the logo screen that tells me to press DEL if I want to enter BIOS) but even if I press DEL the BIOS would normally come after the AHCI controller screen (I believe) and I just can't make it past that screen right now. I thought posting meant seeing the post screen? Maybe I am...

Hey guys. Really weird issue here and can't find anyone with the same problem, hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Hardware info you probably need: MOBO: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Crucial M4 SSD in main SATA port WD Black HD in secondary SATA port DVD drive in a third SATA...
