970 evo m.2 put in, now no response at all

[Tikotje]

Hello everyone,

i just connected my new 970 EVO M.2 disconnected all other drives and there is no to little response from the PC.
the only thing it does is spin the fans, not even the BIOS will start.

MSI x99s SLI PLUS motherboard.
all drivers are up to date.

any help is appreciated

You do need to provide full system spec's.

For example: PSU being relevant - power issues perhaps.

Do you have the latest bios?

 

[maestro0428]

Yeah, probably just need to update the bios.

If you remove the M.2 drive, does the system perform normally?

If you remove the M.2 drive, does the system perform normally?

yes if i remove it, PC works perfect.

Do you have anything connect to SATA ports 5 and 6? If so, installing the M.2 drive disables those ports.

You could try resetting your BIOS to default and then re-installing the M.2 drive.

Stupid me, updating the Bios did the trick.
gotta check stuff before is ask.

thanks to all.

I have tried some other sugestions from this thread:

[SOLVED] - How to properly install m.2 into x99s sli plus motherboard?

I've been trying for a good week to get this working on my own but I have the intel 7 series m.2 pcie and I've installed it into my x4 slot on the X99S Sli plus motherboard. For some reason it isn't registering that it exists. My friend told me to try looking through BIOS and I'm honestly...

forums.tomshardware.com

but even when i try to boot with the USB stick and only the EVO on nothing happens. not even the BIOS boots. to be honest not all the options not all the options that are described are the same on my bios but i think i am close enough and the pc wil not boot from the USB.

and by he way yes i have downloaded MSI's live update and got all the latest drivers.

any other suggestions my good people?

many thanks
