Hey guys 

I installed Windows 10 on my 1TB M.2 Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe drive..


Sometimes when I boot up my PC it boots up just fine..

 

But other times I boot up and I get a message telling me to insert a boot CD or USB device. ? 

 

I checked my BIOs and I do have it set to boot from the 970 Evo Plus as my first priority boot device.

 

I tried re-installing Windows again but the issue keeps coming up.

 

Anyone have an idea on what’s going on?

 

Thanks!

Reseat the drive? Sometimes this can all be whittled down to a bad connection.

I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

 

I did open my case and the M.2 drive seems to be seated and screwed in properly but maybe it’s something I can’t see.
