MSI Gaming B150 M3 w/ Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD

[erikmy]

Hi, I've changed motherboard and CPU.
My drive already got WIN 10 installed.
However, my drive doesn't show up at all in BIOS.
It's like it doesn't exist.
I've tried to update BIOS and reattach the drive several times, but still no luck.
Anybody got any ideas?
I will provide some pictures of my BIOS setup.

Several of this motherboards BIOS updates were issued for "Improved NVME device compatibility", it may still be a problem. You should contact MSI Technical Support and see what they have to say. The Samsung 960 EVO is not on this motherboards Storage Compatibility List.

Where did you find that list?

It's a bit weird if the 960 is not supported, when the 950 is:

BIOS update released 2016-07-27:

Description
- Improved PCIE compatibility.
- Improved SAMSUNG 950 Pro NVME compatibility.
- Updated Microcode.
- Updated VBIOS and GOP.
- Improved memory compatibility.

However, you may be right, so marking this as the answer.

Just because the Samsung 960 EVO is not on the list is not proof it won't work with this motherboard, only that MSI has not tested it with this motherboard.
