Hi!

I have a pc with an m.2. Ssd. Patriot hellfire 250gb.
The os is on the ssd.
Its a very old issue. When i turn on the pc, its not detect the ssd. I have to wait for maybe 5 minutes, then turn off and on again, then its boot from the ssd. Now its not detect it after 1 hour.... can you help me, what i have to do? There is a hdd in the system for storage but the os is on the ssd.

Thanks for your help,
Gergely
 
it should work according to specs, so I have to ask once your ssd is in place, what SATA connector is your HDD on?, try moving it to 4 or 5 (see image below

You describe something like an intermittent fault where you have to wait for things to warm up before they work. That's is usually down to bad contacts. Remove your m.2 drive and check the contacts on it and the motherboard. Make sure it's properly seated when you reinstall it again.
