[QUOTE="Pixel, post: 1584682, member: 4049"] Hey Guys, I picked up the Corsair Force 3 - 120GB SSD last week and I was finally able to install it today. I have followed this SSD Optimizing guide - [url]http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-guide-optimization-for-ssds-hdds[/url] I have enabled the AHCI SATA mode in the bios as well. I can upload screenshots of my bios settings if required. I tried installing windows 7 from a USB drive and it would take a long time when it was loading the installer (black screen + white progress bar). Once it was in the loader it would just randomly restart. After fiddling around in the BIOS settings (disabling the AHCI for the other controller), I was able to get it to load windows successfully. After running a few benchmarks and comparing it to online scores, I feel theres something wrong in probably the BIOS settings. I do know that my mobo supports SATA 3 GB/s and not 6 GB/s I am also aware that corsair have recalled the FORCE 3 120GB HDD but upto a serial # way before mine. Please have a look at the Benchmark tests .. CPU - AMD Phenom 2 unlocked to BE B55 X4 Mobo - Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Ram - 2GB x 2 G-Skill GPU - ATI 4870 Please HELP! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
