Hey to everybody.
My problem with upgrading of my MBP continues.

My actions.
1. I've made a backup image through Time Machine on External HDD.
2. Replaced HDD from HDD bay
3. Put SSD Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB in HDD Bay
4. Made a backup on SSD using freshest image from external HDD
5. Backup went normally with no errors (I checked the log during installation) and a white tick in green circle appered after that
6. Mac started to reboot and slashed circle - apple logo - started to fast flashing changing each other. Then only apple logo appeared.
7. Then the system started to work.
8. After only a 1 minute of normal work Mac hanged.
9. I've turned off it by pressing on power button.
10. When I turned it on the slashed circle appeared again.
11. So I've made the 9 and 10 items again and again. Sometimes the system started to work and after that 8 item makes me to do reboot the system.

Also I've tried to made restore of new clean System (10.7.5) from Internet Recovery option. The same problem.

Before all that I've replaced my broken Sata 3 cable (from HDD Bay to LB) in authorized Apple service center.
After all that I put HDD on its uusual place and mac works normally.

What is the problem? Bad SSD or new Sata 3 cable
Looking forward for your help!
Thanks
