Stuck thinking death

[Amnro789]

I have no idea what to do at this point.  On my wife's laptop.

 

Built a new Asus x99 Deluxe with the i7-5930k.

 

I simply cannot get the board to recognize my Plextor PCIe M.2 2280 SSD.  PX-G256M6e.

 

I have done everything but the right thing it would appear.  I have Enable the CSM on not.  Boot control UEFI and legacy, and tried the other settings.  I have tried IDE, Raid, AHCI settings.

Seems like a small chance to have a bad card, but I have no idea hoping one of you guys might know.

 

Any help would be great.

I'm thinking go with the thread title.

Does it require special drivers? You may have to download a driver first, put it on a USB stick and tell the Windows installer to load that driver prior to the installation.

I had to do the same thing when I was running a PCIe RevoDrive

EDIT : I read some reviews just now, and one of them mentions that on some motherboards you may have to manually activate the M2 slot in the UEFI.

Looks like I am able to get windows 7 running but not with M6e, or in raid on other drives.  So a single drive.  I had windows 8.1 running last night and started downloading drivers for motherboard and the whole thing died.  It ran, but each couple keystrokes took 5 minutes to complete.  Got into task manager and saw where 39 programs was running in background.  Could not stop them as takes about 5 minutes each keystroke.  So, decided 8.1 was part of the issue and put 7 back in.

 

Maybe if I can get crawling, I can get other things running as well.  I am going to try placing the M6e in another pci slot to see what happens.
