Hello everybody,
Few month ago i bought a Crucial MX500 m.2 SSD 256Go. Like in the Linus Tech Tips Youtube video, I used it with Primocache to speed up my 2Tb HDD and it worked fine for month.
But sometimes my PC did not recognize the SSDfor some reasons. I was able to fix that by formating my SSD and clear my CMOS. (It was probably not the only solution but it worked lol)
The problem is that today my PC won't reconize my SSD at all .
ONLY and ONLY when i plug my SSD i am stuck in BIOS prompt menu for like 50 seconds i don't know why.
I can't see my SSD in the BIOS neither in Windows disk manager.
I have a constant orange light on my SSD when i start the PC and i can't find out what does it mean execpt "Yes i am powered".
My motherboard is the Asrock ab350m pro4 (pdf manual here: https://download.asrock.com/Manual/AB350M Pro4.pdf)
Ryzen 5 2600
2x8Gb of Ram 3600Mhz
SSD: Crucial MX500 m.2
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2tb. I am running Windows 10.
I use the M2_2 port of my motherboard and SATA3_1 port for my HDD. I am aware that M2_2 and SATA3_4 share the same lane so there is no lane conflict in my case.
I think my port M2_1 is for PCIe SSD only. I tried in case and it did not worked of course. When my SSD is on that port, there is a constant green light. I don't know what does it mean.
I tried every SATA3 port for my HDD, i tried to reboot 5 times in a row to see if it will somehow fix it, i booted with SSD unpluged and tried to plug it later, i have completely reset my CMOS but non of this is working .
I am currently running a fresh Windows 10 installation on my HDD but i have the same problem.
It was working fine few week ago and i did not changed anything on my PC. No upgrades, nothing.
How am i supposed to format my SSD if i can't even see it in my BIOS?
Is it possible that i bricked my SSD and the only solution is to send it back to Crucial with my warrenty?
I am not used to ask some questions on a forum so i hope i gave enough informations for you guys to help me.
Thank you
