950 Pro not working?

Hey peeps

 

I built a new computer about a month and a half ago, and bought a m.2 ssd. But for some reason I kinda forgot about it, and havent installed it until now. 

My motherboard is a GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 from Gigabyte. And I plugged the m.2 in the slot on the backside of the board, and tightened the screw. And the user manual for the board says that to find a M.2 PCIe SSD I should check under OffBoard SATA Controller Configuration in the BIOS. But when I do, it says that no PCIe SSD is present. 
I tried installing the driver software from Samsung, as someone said that was needed (http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html). Though I cant say that helped me at all.

 

Appreciate all feedback on this one, thanks!

It may be that the ssd is faulty or damaged. if you can try another 1 or get it replaced

Well, the thought have crossed me. But I see this as the last solution. And was hoping for some more feedback on how it is done from start to finish, so I know I have done it right before I cross it of as broken.

Your Bios may need an update to work with m.2 drives. You could try that first and see if it would work

Non detection - it's always bios related if the nvme drive is properly seated

 

Check it's properly seated on the m2 slot and check for bios updates
