    Re: New system spec/price feedback!

    So all my parts arrived today, and Ive assembled it. Updated all the drivers etc but seem to be having issues.

    When I installed windows 7, the format drive option wasn't selectable so the SSD hasn't been formatted (problem?) but W7 installed, however it felt like it took alot longer than it should have. Windows seems to take awhile to load, similar to normal HD time. But the main issue is occasionally it locks up, in event viewer its reporting:

    Service Control Manager
    "A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Windows Error Reporting Service service to connect."
    Event ID#7009

    The other minor annoyance is during boot up it scans for devices everytime, which takes like 15s, can you disable it from doing this? Everytime it scans it comes back "No any devices".

    Edit* Sigh, since posting it's lockup twice in a row while browsing on firefox, each time have to wait 30s then it will unlock and can continue... help
