chizow Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 wow, wish I saw those kind of Crystal Mark #s with the Force 3 I bought! That's with the Intel native SATA 3/6G I'm guessing? As for your boot-up issue, it sounds like the blank screen is the normal POSTing process where it verifies DMI addresses and all that before your SSD is even put to work. If your HDD LED isn't flashing for 45 seconds, then its probably not your SSD's fault, just a long POST start-up for your board. You can check your BIOS to see if there is anything about "enable quick boot" or something to that effect. You can also try to disable any other onboard ASICs or ROMs, like extra HDD or firewire/USB controllers that aren't being used as they can also make start-up take longer.
