Z270M Pro4 - secondhand Nvme EVO 960

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I?�ve done everything I can think of.

In the system browser, both slots list the drive as

Mass storage controller

I don?�t know if it should list the drive by name Samsung 960 EVO

I don?�t know if this is because the drive is second hand, is the uefi information on the drive wrong?

Secure boot?

Maybe I need to try and flash it?

Samsung flash when booted from USB does not detect drive, I will try again with CSM disable, I think I tried it before.

No matter what win10 install does not see the drive. Tried a different ISO, newest preview build.

I mean if it is bricked I should see nothing?

I?�ve reset BIOS, followed everything....

I will check my voltages.

I can only think it is dead, or I have a bent pin? I bought this board secondhand, with 3 bent pins in the area of RAM I fixed them as best as I can and I have had no problems...

I rather not take my CPU out...

CPU cooler too tight?

	I just want to say I somewhat suspect a BIOS problem, sometimes I get corrupting in the boot menu when I press F11 I need to move the mouse around to cover the graphics error. I?�ve reflashed my BIOS from the first oldest BIOS up, each one, until again I am on the newest. I just don?�t know if it is my BIOS/ uefi info is messed, or the drive is second hand and needs to be wiped in a way I don?�t know about. I will post on Samsung?�s forums
