Why does my Mac sometimes doesn't want to startup?
I've changed my Mac's storage to a SSD (Corsair Elite Force 480 GB) which was working. Then, one day my Mac won't startup, I figured it was the SATA cable was not working. I bought a new one and exchanged it. Now it sometimes it so laggy I shut it down from the power button and sometimes it starts up with a blinking question marked folder!!
Please help! =D
Is this a good question?

Can you give us your exact model as that makes a big difference here! Go to this web site and plug in your systems serial number: EveryMac - Lookup Once you find your system post the systems URL here for us to see.

I'd like to add: for your info, I once purchased 6 HDD cables in one lot and ALL of them were defective. So you can't rule out that the original cable went bad then you replaced it with a defective cable, until you've tried a known good part. Or at least a new part from a different supplier.

Yeah, some of the replacement cables out there are total trash.
