Hello everybody,

I just got the SanDisk A110 M.2 SSD and tried it in my Asus X99-E WS motherboard with bios version 1302. However, the system does not POST if I use the M.2 SSD. Without it, there is no problem. The only things attached are my GTX980 and a USB keyboard. I was not able to find anything useful in the manual concerning special setup for the M.2 SSD except for that it has to be PCIe compatible, which this one is.
I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction or has any clue how to proceed.

I contacted support and they asked me to update the bios. However, AISuite said there was no update available even though the support website had a newer version. Therefore the support team advised me to ask for an RMA. I did and the SSD works perfect now!
