Ssd only sometimes works

[Bdonftw]

Hello all! After I finished building my pc I go to install windows and the m.2 drive doesn’t show up. After a couple restarts it shows up. But after I restart it again it stops showing up  again. And if I get to a point where I’m at the desktop, after I restart it, it basically wipes itself so I have to reinstall windows. The bios is updated so I’m not sure what is going on

Make sure it is properly seated.

 

What make/model ssd is it?

Have you tried another m.2 slot?

Is it detected in bios half of the time too?

When you then reinstall Windows and the device shows up does i show the old partitions on the drive?

Or does it show up as an empty drive?

That is weird.

 

There is another post on the forums that is similar, that is a little different but worth trying maybe?

Not sure I can find that setting, it’s a gigabyte motherboard if that helps

I think i got it fixed. It was a combination of changing the bios settings and moving the drive into different m.2 slots. Thank you!
