M.2 ssd is not recognized in BIOS

[AcyMitsu]

 I have an asus z170i mobo and i recently bought a patriot m.2 ssd but i have an issue that even with no other ssd/hdds installed in to my board, my mobo can't seem to recognize my newly installed m.2 ssd. Also, whenever i try to boot with just the m.2 ssd installed, my pc will stuck at boot logo then after some time the BIOS will appear, then under the BIOS menu no drive is recognized, even the m.2 port says "empty". I would like to install my OS on this new m.2 ssd btw.

Is it an Nvme drive? If so make sure Nvme support is enabled in the BIOS, also you might have to enable M.2 boot support as well. What is the exact drive you bought if you could please link it that would be great.

 I have this drive "Scorch M.2 PCIe Solid State Drives 256GB"  and yes it says that this is an NVME drive. Also, I can't seem to find the M.2 boot support option in my bios, however i check videos on how to set NVMe M.2 Drive bootable, with the same settings still my ssd is not recognized.

Try reseating it. I had issues with mine and that fixed all.
