Got a problem with booting into win 7 , computer boots past the bios and starts to load windows ,stop when it gets to the flying windows,just goes click and reboots. tried all the tricks in the book, won't even boot from the winDVD to get into repair UNLESS
I do one thing : tap on the enter key repeatedly when the "starting windows" comes up, nothing works except this.
Once booted up into windows all is sweet, no errors on disk etc. When I restart it goes back to same problem.
Tried all the bios options ( fail safe, other profiles etc) Once into windows repair - did the fix mbr and other start repairs- no change.
As it stands I can now boot into windows, but only doing the tap tap at the start up screen. Found it out after 2 hours of trying all ese.
Anyone got any ideas please, or what could be the cause ?
thanks in advance/

Before installing Win7 you enabled AHCI mode in bios.
I'll assume you changed the boot priorty from cd/dvd to hdd/ssd after win7 install.
Have you bothered to install ssd tools and possible firmware updates?

Yes to all of above, tools confirm drives okay
I installed windows 7 on both drives running one drive at a time aling with a
hdd for data it was working okay until one day decided not to boot up, so plugged in other vertex 2 drive with other OS, same thing, no boot, our at least not until I tap the enter key and then it loads Under safe mode it scrolls for a while then goes blank and restarts
, without stopping at any particular file.

Solution Found : embarrassing enough I found that the cause of the problem was caused by my plugging my usb-cabled printer into the blue usb 3 port ; there was no more usb2 ports left on the back of the computer -
so i put it into the usb3 port (after checking the manual which says the the usb3 ports are backward compatible to version 2 as well.
The port worked so thought all was well ( so forgot about it).
So after unplugging this cable the machine started up without any trouble at all !
