Don't know what to make out of it...most of the time after cold boot I can load the windows ( 90%) and then i get busy LED on my SSD for like 30 second longer,
have any one experience this on P67 ? ,don't know if this is the SSD related problem or program or what..
how can I troubleshot this and fine the culprit ?
Thanks

Are you under IDE or AHCI/RAID mode?

AHCI/single SSD

Is "load the windows" the splash screen, or are you already at the desktop with icons and start menu? Windows tends to keep the drive working long after you are at the desktop. If it were a HDD performance would be greatly impacted. With an SSD you can start doing stuff right away, even if the HDD LED is still active.

Yep I'm already at the desktop/icons,etc but you can't open up nothing ,it's just busy (round blue circle), sometimes it's fine but this is driving
me crazy lately

Are you using the latest P67 motherboard with the B3 revision or the motherboard before the Cougar Point chipset bug? Maybe that could lead to some problems unless of course your SSD is plugged in to the SATA III instead of the SATA II. Another possibility is that you have too many startup programs. Go to Run > msconfig then remove unnecessary startup programs that you might not need.

yeah it's B3..B2 or B3 ,Marvell or Intel 6.0 same thing
 
First thing I would try is a different SATA cable and/or port connection and ensure ends are on really good. I have seen some SSD/PC's with crappy cables or bad port connectors which seem to work fine most tof the time, but intermittant/occasional electrical signal issues cause drive resets and other error correcting procedures to occur during operation which appear to make the drive hang for short periods of time. This is the easiest thing to do 1st as having 2 bad SATA cables in a row isn't very likely and just the wiggling of the connectors when changing tha cables tends to fix any electrical connection issues.

Try the drive on the SATA2 ports. If no issue, then it's either the driver, SATA3 ports, or SSD. If still issue on SATA2 port, then try IDE mode on same OS build and same SATA2 port. If no issue in IDE mode, then likely driver related, in which case, go back to the SATA 3 port and also try IDE mode. If still no issue in IDE mode on either type of port, try the stock MSAHCI driver on the SATA3 port (yes it's "slightly" slower, but much more compatible). If the stock MSAHCI driver does not cause the hang issue on either the SATA2 or SATA3 ports, then possibly it's the Intel driver in which case you have to try different versions until problem goes away. If you still have hang issues using the MSAHCI driver on any of the SATA ports, it's more-likely the SSD is having issues.

What firmware version are you using on the SSD? The latest is 006.

Edit: Ooops, noticed you also have Marvel SATA ports.. If it's happening with them too, then you can also try troubleshootnig them with the MSAHCI stock driver (versus Marvell's POS drivers).

I'm experiencing the same issue, and also double boot(after I hit the button it boots up and shuts down in a few seconds, then boot up again)
. :\
 
no double boot here with previous MB and now,but the system hangs only like 5% of the time,i think it's bios/driver related ( Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver-updated on asus side 3/17- V10.0.0.1046 but this older one then new Intel's version 10.1.0.1008 )
I stated earlier that happens on Marvell and Intel 6.0..i think it's only on Intel 6.0
