Hi,
Have all brand new parts.
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Mobo
i5 6600k chip with a good cooler
2 x 8Gig or Corsair Ram
2 x Samsung 950 Pro 256Gig M2 ssds installed in the M2 slots (THey are NVMe SSDs)
Have built PC's before but having major issues here.
Assembled everything and got into the Bios. The bios recognizes the RAM, no issue there. The bios does NOT recognize either of the SSD's in the M2 slots under the NVM section of the bios.
The Bios does NOT recognize any SATA drive in the SATA section (and I have enabled the RAID controllers in the SATA area)
The boot sequence DOES list 1 of the 2 SSD's in the boot sequence.
The MOBO does NOT recognize any USB drive that is hooked up via the case. Have a CD ROM isntalled for Win7 isntall.
Boot into the WIN7 loader, and the loader does NOT see any drive either.
The MOBO manual says to enable raid, after POST starts and before boot sequence to hit "ctrl+l" to enter legacy RAID bios utility. This does NOT work at all.
So I cant see either drive, cant install WIn7 to install on 1 drive and then use gigabyte software to enable raid later.
Please help
