NVME drive not showing in BIOS

[mubeen-jawad]

I was in the process of building my new setup, and everything seems to work except my NVME SSD which is not showing in the BIOS. 

Keep in mind this is the first time I plugged in the drive and it is not used.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.

 
MOB: Gigabyte Aorus Elite A520

Processor: Ryzen 5 3600

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16gb

SSD: Gigabyte NVME M.2 2280 256GB

GPU: GTX 1660 ti

If I were you, I think I'd check what BIOS version the motherboard is running and if it's an older version, then update the BIOS and see if that changes anything.

Reseat the drive and make sure the contacts are fully inserted in the m.2 slot, see if that works

I was previously running F10 version than updated it to F13(latest version) still the problem remains.

Already reseated the SSD about 3 times but it does not show up in Bios.

Do you have another way of testing the drive? Like putting it in a known good computer? It might just be defective after all and require an rma

I am going to a shop and check on another PC to see if it was dead on arrival.

So, I tested the drive on another PC and it was showing up. I've tried literally everything now and nothing seems to work. Don't know what the issue is here. Even re installed the CMOS battery. I've decided to sell this one and use a 2.5 inch sata ssd. It's really sad how complicated things have become.
