Consistently it is suggested to change bios settings to AHCI prior to installing Windows after installing the 120gb SATA 3 OCZ SSD, however, that setting is not available in the bios for the HP DM1Z so I didn't do it. Now in the device manager under the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers it has 2 controllers listed: ATA Channel 0 and a Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA controller. With the new drive my computer is constantly freezing and I believe that is the cause but I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Theoretically shouldn't the standard AHCI controller I have listed under the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers be adequate or should it not even say IDE ATA/ATAPI in the device manager but AHCI instead (if I was able to make that change in the bios)? I have already checked to see if the drive has the latest firmware and it has.
