My Motherboard is not detecting SSD

[Moonattack100]

I just bought the MSI H170A Motherboard and everything is fine until in BIOS it won't detect my SSD I have tried to plugging it in other SATA ports etc. I have updated my BIOS to the latest. It detects my 750GB WD Hard Drive

Did you clean the SATA port and check the SATA power supply connector?If your SSD will detect to another MOBO its understood its a good SSD, the problem is your computer, check that SATA power cables and SATA cable that connects to your MOBO and in PSU. Check the voltage output of your PSU that connects to the SSD

Yeah I have done all that... I switched SATA connectors, everything. I even switched all the stuff that is connecting to my hard drive and tried to use it on the SSD it still won't show up.

Try to set your BIOS to default settings, find the keys that said set to default settings or use the cmos jumper to set your bios to default. Then setup again your BIOS,

Try also to remove your old HDD first, try or install only the SSD lets see if it will detect

Ok let try this, connect again you HDD and the SSD drive, then power up neglect whether the SSD is not detected. Then when your in windows lets try whether the SSD will be detected by the windows.

Might be the updates of BIOS is the cause why your SSD not detected, since your MOBO is new. How about your SSD is this also new?I tried to find solution why your SSD not detected but in other mobo it will detect.

I think it might be just the SSD... My last build the SSD had some issues but was fine. I did "update" the BIOS couple of minutes ago to see if it worked but it didn't

There are factors we consider why the SSD is not detected kindly check this:

Drive not enabled in the BIOS

Serial ATA drivers are not properly installed

Faulty or unplugged data cable

Faulty SSD

Kindly check whether there are drivers you need to install after you connect your SSD, if this 4 factors you sure that you check now but nothing happen. Try to use another SSD to your computer mobo, might be your mobo have problem.
