My specs are as follows:
Intel Core i7-7700k 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Avexir Raiden Series ddr4 2x4 Ram
WD Blue M.2 500GB Internal SSD Solid State Drive - SATA 6Gb/s - WDS500G1B0B
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM INternal Hard Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Strix Edition Video Card
Noctis 450 White+Blue Case
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
NZXT Hue+
As the title said, my M.2 SSD is not being shown in the BIOS or on the windows installation screen. I have it plugged and unplugged the drive into the M.2 slot on my motherboard multiple times but it still isn't being sensed. I tried researching and asking some friends what they think, but everyone with the same issue says they are having it be sensed on windows, but not in the BIOS, and my friends had no idea. I'm asking here hoping that someone on here might have a solution as it has been stressing me out that it isn't working, especially since I spent a fair amount of money on it.
If you have any idea how to fix this issue, it would be much appreciated.
Side note: Every time I boot up my pc, a screen appears saying that my cpu fan is not working properly. I think it is an issue with the water cooler not being a fan. I was wondering how to stop this screen from appearing as I have to hit F1 everytime and boot from the BIOS. Thanks you.
