SSDs not working

[lumilukko]

I got new m.2 ssd and placed It in my system. It didn't work and I tried many different solutions. Eventually I returned it and got a replacement and same thing happened. I could see it in BIOS boot options, but not in windows. Then my other ssd stopped booting to windows. I booted the computer to ubuntu using very old ssd and I could see the ssds. When I use Windows boot usb, it says "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause."

 

System specs:

Asus prime z370-p

Intel i5 8600K

asus rog strix 1070ti

samsung 860 EVO

Corsair MP600

kingston 16 gt kit DDR4

windows 10

 

What I've tried

m.2 ssd:

-tried both m.2 sockets, saw it in boot menu both times, not in windows

-reseted the CMOS

-tried to boot from windows boot usb, it says "Windows failed to start...."

-got a new m.2 ssd, same thing

 

ssd:

-plugged it in different socket, didn't work 

-booted the computer in ubuntu, could see the files on the ssd, tried to format it

-tried another windows computer, couldn't see the ssd in windows

-tried to boot from windows boot usb, it says "Windows failed to start...."

 

Could my motherboard be broke?

When you say it doesn't show in windows, have you checked the Disk management? As IIRC windows hides empty drives by default in explorer. You can also go into file explorer, and go to "File" in the top left corner, then choose "change folder and search options", then choose the "view" tab... and go to where it says "hide empty drives" and deselect that option by removing the tick on the box.

If you're talking about m.2, it did show in the disk management. If you're talking about the 860EVO, it didn't show up in the disk management

You may need to format the drive or install drivers for the sdd . What boot usb did you use? Windows installation? as for the windows drive not booting that is another thing. you can use windows instillation usb to try and repair installation https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10.

I used a boot usb, that I bough from the store a year ago. It was a Windows installation usb. It had an option called storage check of something like that, but it didn't find any problems

try this its bob.omd.boot usb/cd (https://www.aioboot.com/en/bob-ombs-modified-win10pex64/), it has a bunch of tools, like recover your keys in worst case situation. try  repair tool again using (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10), updated version. I gave you the windows 7 one by mistake off my repair links list.
