Question NVMe not identified by bios INTERMITTENTLY

[xtrips]

Hello,
I got this new mini pc and added an NVMe drive. This is the only drive which means the OS is on it and the PC has to boot from it.
The thing is sometimes the bios just wouldn’t see it. No matter what I try.
After a day or so powering it back up is just fine.
I cannot find any logical explanation.
any idea?

what the mini pc model?

No model here. Just the regular chinese stuff. A mini pc based on the latest i7 with 16Gb ram. An AMI bios. And the latest Windows 10 version. When the PC loads all is fine, no crashes or surprises, Device Manager is totally clean. But sometimes, very often actually, the bios just won't see the NVMe drive.

No reaction yet.....
How can I check if the problem is the NVMe drive? I do not have another compatible computer, nor another NVMe drive....
Any idea?
