[SOLVED] sumsung 970 Evo failure?

[abdurrahiym]

Hey guys, today i've recently purchased an nvme sumsung evo 970 ssd and it's causing for my system to not boot up, it'll only give me access to open BIOS or it'll say to reboot and select proper boot device whilst my actual boot device is attached but my 970 just canceles it out...
This is really annoying and would really like some help!

Thanks!

You will have to select your existing SATA drive in 'Boot Device Priority' settings, as I"d guess it is currently trying to boot from NVME drive when present by default....

Nope, tried that. The NVME Drive completely kills the existing SSD which causes the boot ups and that’s the problem...

You need to look in your user manual, Section 1-7 Internal Connectors, for the possible conflicts between that m.2 port and the SATA ports.

* Refer to "1-7 Internal Connectors," for the installation notices for the M.2 and SATA connectors.

Nope, double checked my BIOS, my MB isn't NVME compatible.

If your H110 is not even NVME compatible, then there is no sense in even connecting an NVME drive then, as only SATA spec M.2 drives can be used...(I did not realize some H110 MBs could not utilize NVME)

Either send it back for a refund, or sell it, or stash it away for your next system.
