    Hi guys, need a little help getting my SSD going in my 4310. I had it installed in here once before after a few hickups but had since moved it to a 6320. Didn't like the 6320 so I'm back to the 4310.

    Here's where Im at so far. I installed the SSD and then went into the BIOS and set it to AHCI. I then inserted the Win7 disk and I dont remember if I did legacy boot or UEFI boot but I got win7 installed no problem. I then started updating drivers and everything was fine even after several reboots. Then all of a sudden this morning, I reboot and it boots directly into safe mode.

    Any ideas? Am I missing something?

    I mean... what happens if you tell it to boot normally?

    If I hit F8 during startup and choose boot normally, it still boots straight into safe mode.
