First post from Windows 7 on SSD build…

So far with Win 7 the only problem I’ve had is with monitors.  When I installed the OS it seemed to want to switch my primary around … even if I changed the cables, not quite sure why it likes one of the monitors so much more than the other.  This morning that primary monitor is blinking every so often, like it has something in its eye or something … not sure why that started this morning.

The performance is fantastic! … just have to get the blinking monitor to stop.
