SSD not showing in disk management

[mypcisaspaceheater]

My [friend] recieved an SSD from PNY (128gb) a while back and its not working so he gave it to me so I would like to fix it and give it back to him.

Anyways here goes:

Motherboard :ASUS Z97A usb 3.1
HDD western digital blue 1 Tb
Cpu: i7 4790k
Ram: 24 gb, 16 corsair vengenance 1666mhz and 8 gb s skill 1333 mhz.
Video card: gtx 970

Os windows 10

SSD should be empty
Anyways the ssd shows up in bios but only on a fresh boot not a restart or boot to bios, it fails to show in disk manager, Intel RST, device manager.

Set my BIOS boot style to both, legacy OPROM first. Ill update with more info soon

Can you post a screenshot of disk management? That is extremely odd that it'll show in the BIOS but not inside Windows.

A) You can't "fix" a broken SSD, there is nothing to 'fix'. It is totally Memory, and either works or doesn't.
B) If it is still under warranty then the maker PNY will test and replace any faulty SSD, but those are rare situations as SSDs normally don't fail yet, some are coming to 'end of life' but then again they are out of warranty.
C) Typically the bolded occurs in MY experiance when I don't have enough power on the system to power the extra hardware. A simple test, yank the power off your TB and then try seeing if the SSD shows in Bios on a ' restart or boot to bios'. If it still doesn't, well you did say it is BROKEN, so yeah it is BROKEN - See (B).
