Windows 10: NVMe M.2 SSD disappears from BIOS when trying to install windows

Hi everyone,
I recently finished building a PC and am currently using a single 1TB NMVe M.2 SSD from Crucial as my storage. The drive has been installed correctly and sometimes when going into the BIOS the drive appears as present. However, when I try to do a self device test, the drive fails and disappears from bios. Also when trying to install windows onto my PC, the drive will not appear and when going back into the BIOS, the drive seemingly disappears from the PC until I restart it. This is extremely frustrating as I can't use the PC as there is no way for me to install windows.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks

Windows not recognizing new m.2 NVME SSD but shows in BIOS

I purchased a crucial nvme m.2 ssd for my MSI GT73 Titan - It shows in the PCIE section of the BIOS but does not show in disk management - Also does not show up in Crucial's Storage Executive Application.

My BIOS is the latest version.

Any ideas?

 

NVME M.2 SSD detected in BIOS - not detected in Windows 10 x64

Hi,

I purchased an PNY CS3030 2TB M.2 NVME SSD disk which I installed in my system. My BIOS can see it just fine under my NVME Configuration menu options, and also the BIOS function to do a controller test for this disk passes without a problem.

However, in Windows 10 x64 (up to date) I am unable to see the disk in Device Manager, or Computer Management / Disk Management section - meaning I can't initialize and format the drive.

This is a second NVME disk in this system. My first one which is also the boot/system disk is a Samsung Evo 970 Plus (also seen in the BIOS, right next to the PNY) and functions properly in Windows.

System specs:

AMD Ryzen 3900X

Asus X570 Pro - BIOS version 1405 (latest available as of this time)

32 GB DDR4 3600MHz Patriot Viper 4 (4x8GB)

Disks:

- Samsung Evo 970 Plus 500 GB M.2 NVME

- PNY CS3030 2TB M.2 NVME

- 2x WD Blue 10EZEX SATA 7200RPM 1TB drives configured in RAID0

- 1x WD Blue 320GB SATA 7200RPM

GPU: Sapphire RadeOn RX560

Power: Corsair RM1000x

OS: Windows 10 x64 Home

As said, all other disks work fine. Initially I was thinking this to be a driver issue of some sort, since the BIOS can see the PNY just fine but Windows can not. I also made sure I installed the latest available chipset and SATA drivers (I know its NVME,
but still.. ) from my motherboard manufacturer: ASUS, at PRIME X570-PRO｜Motherboards｜Motherboards / Components ｜ASUS Global

I do not think the PNY is deffective, otherwise my BIOS would not detect it, and it would also not pass the BIOS' NVME controller tests.

Ideas?

 

NVME SSD

My MB is a crosshair vii hero with latest bios 2901.

The m.2 1 link mode is auto, gen 1, gen 2, gen 3

M.2 2 is the same. And in the boot section nvme is visible and enabled.
